Hi, I use a Fujitsu-Siemens AMILO EL, celeron 2Ghz based. bad side: it is noisy and hot, it has probably no 3D support (i didn't try under Windoze because i don't have windoze on it). good sides: everything works (X@1024, dualhead, TV out, ethernet, pccard, sound, ACPI (need some tweaking and some bug reports, but globally working, not hanging, not crashing), has 512Mb RAM for me, can be extended, USB 2 works with 5.1 (i own a 120G IDE drive in a USB2.0 enclosure and a 11Gb 2'1/2 in USB2 enclosure too, damn fast!), firewire should work (driver loads OK, but i don't own any peripherals), CD-RW works with atapicam, DVD play OK, cheap (EUR 999). hope this helps, Olivier > Any recommendations would be truly helpful. > > Erik. > > > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-mobile-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
