I'm running on a Dual core Pentium system using the Intel 965 chipset

which are being resolved.
My motherboard is an Intel DG965RYCK motherboard with 2Gb or RAM and a
2.8GHZ dual core processor.
Big issues I've found:
1) PATA (IDE?) interface is not recognized properly (SATA works
perfectly however)
a) use the kernel parameter "all-generic-ide" however I am not able
to burn CD's with the setting
b) use a usb cdrom drive
2) Video drivers that come in FC6 will not display video with programs
such as mplayer - fix is to install the current drivers for the 965
video chipset from freedesktop.org - you'll have to compile them yourself
3) the 64 bit version of firefox will probably be a headache as plugins
are 32 bits - choices are:
a) run the 32 bit version of firefox
b) use the 64 bit version of firefox and use nspluginwrapper which
will work with many of the plugins
Hope this is of use...

Sounds like it might be best to just return it and pick something else
unless these problems are expected to be fixed real soon.
