I've just bought a P4 board with an 845 chipset, so thanks for the tip.
They're on quite a few boards, not just cheap ones.

Red Hat 9 is out today (Red Hat Network members only). It'll be interesting to
see if the Red Hat policy of breaking binary compatibility more often from
now on - with the freely downloadable distro at least - will affect its
suitability for audio workstation use. It seems the base distro isn't going
to be marketed as a product - it's just a technology testbed for the
non-free-beer Enterprise line now.

There are bound to be other distros catching up with XFree 4.3 too.
 
Cheers

Daniel
