You already know I have an ECS on my wife's machine. Though it has Linux on it, 
I have not run X to see how it works. It works fine for W2K, but you have to 
reboot for the installation of EACH driver: once for video, once for sound, 
once for net, ... and so on.

I don't know what it does under Linux.

My ASUS A7V133 is running a 1.3GHz AMD. It has a Promise IDE card for a 5th IDE 
drive (it now has 2 CDs and 3 HDs), which is undetected under Linux (either 
that or it isn't configured properly).
