OK, I'll make sure it has enough cache and I'll recompile the code myself. 
I'm thinking of getting an ML 8000

Those boards only come with one PCI slot. Do you mean it could share an IRQ 
with some embedded component like the video card?

BTW, in this age of big USB drive, I don't really nee a DVD/CDRW combo. 
Does someone know if the Via motherboards (at least the ML series) supports 
booting off a USB drive, so I can use this to start Linux and fetch install 
files from an FTP server?

Thank you.
