Specification: http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/875P/ Everything seems to work with recent -CURRENT with the exception of the integrated sound which works with a patch available in Gnats. The performance is excellent, I have a 2.6GHz P4 with HT in this machine and it certainly flies. Hope this is useful, -- Dominic <dom at cus.org.uk> <dominic.marks at npl.co.uk>
