Just an update.

I bought a Foxconn 661FXME based on SiS 661FX chipset.

Everything "just works" so far.

Sound works from snd_ich

Network is sis0

USB is detected but not tested yet.

On board graphics is not fully tested but running at 1024x768 24bit with the 
Xorg sis driver.  No GL working (or it's just poor) but not thoroughly 
checked/tested.  Grphics speed and/or GL is not of any real interest and 
there's still and AGP slot to plug in something more "meaty" if required.

It's got a P4, 3.2GHz CPU and 512MB of DDR400 in it.  I still need to optimize 
the kernel.

Should I be compiling SMP in for the hyperthreading thingummy?
