Choosing the right chipset for a HTPC

[ltmon]

I meant more in the late June to late July timeframe of this year (new financial year technically being July 1st).

They'll probably hold...

FWIW, the rumour mill amongst ex-Sun partner community (at least those I talk with) is that:
- Oracle will come out with a slew of product announcements...

[ltmon]

After being disappointed by the 1680x1050 resolution issues in the new 7.12 I've been trying to revert my drivers.

Firstly I've tried 8.41,...
