N^@NLFirst of all, it comes with an integrated ethernet card, which I believe is based on the Intel 82559 chipset. This should be supported be the ex driver right? Second, I was wondering if the "Integrated Smart Array Controller" will work. I called Compaq, and they said it was based on Symbios's 53C1510. I looked around but to no avail, I couldn't find any mention of this on the mailing lists. Should I buy one of the other supported RAID cards that seem to be so plentiful on ebay? All in all, has anyone had any good/bad experiences with this particular computer? Please reply directly because I'm not on the list.
