I know it is new but looks interesting. New hardware and linux can be hit or miss but I think all this hardware is supported. The chipset should be fine, anyone know what SATA chip it uses?. Is the radeon x1600 supported in 2d? I know I need r300 dri for any 3d. For wireless the broadcom driver was just added to the kernel. Would Intel wireless be more mature? What I'm more concerned about is audio, have no clue if ALSA supports it. Sorry if this is not the proper list. Maybe a hardware specific list would be appropriate. -Louis -------------------------------------------- Processor: Intel Core Duo Processor T2500 (2.0-GHz, 667 FSB, 2MB-L2 cache) Chipset: Mobile Intel 945PM Express Chipset Memory: DDR2 SDRAM, 667-MHz, two SODIMM slots supporting dual channel memory8, 1024MB, supports up to 4096 MB Hard drive(s) 9.5-mm SATA hard drives: 100-GB 7200 rpm Removable media: 12.7-mm optical drives: SuperMulti Double Layer2 DVD +/-RW Display: 17.0-inch WSXGA+ wide-viewing angle (1680 x 1050 resolution and 16 M colors), Graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon x1600 with 256MB of dedicated video memory Audio: PremierSound High Definition Audio support w/24-bit audio DAC, Digital EQ, Advanced audio power management,line out/headphone jack, microphone jack, integrated microphone Wireless support: Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection, or Broadcom 4311BG 802.11b/g WiFi Adapter, Communications: Broadcom Gigabit PCI Express Ethernet Controller6 (10/100/1000 NIC), 56K modem, HP power down NIC technology Expansion slots: 1 Type I/II PC Card slot supports 32-bit CardBus and 16-bit cards 7-in-1 Media Reader: Secure Digital, MultiMediaCard, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, Memory Stick Duo, Smart Media and xD memory cards Ports and connectors: 4 USB 2.0, VGA, audio in/out, power, RJ-11, RJ-45, S-video TV out, IEEE 1394a, docking, HP Travel Battery Input device: Full-sized keyboard; Touchpad with scroll zone
