Darn, that one looks nice. I may have to pick one up for mine. Mine, however, being super tiny will need one of these to make it fit: http://www.orbitmicro.com/global/pe-flex1-p-756.htmlOriginally Posted by deanjo
It would be nice if they made it in low profile....

I can't seem to find any reference to there being linux drivers available for that device. Only links that say "there are none".
That would be a show stopper....

You can basically try to use latest libva for snb first before installing a dedicated gfx card. That requires a current oss stack however, but Core i cpus usually compile fastAt least that would be the first i try when i finally get snb... Hopefully i can try the h264 encoder too...
