(Note: website is in Norwegian (bokmål) but is reasonably easy to decode. Actually came with 2Gb memory and 831Mb video ram.)

Current Issues

1. Amd64 version: still working on getting the wireless card to work.

Notes

  1. Graphics card is Nvidia so need to use alternate CD to install.
  2. i386 version: wireless works with ndiswrapper and the win98 drivers, as per the information on the Ndiswrapper Card List. Chipset is RTL8187B, ID is 0bda:8189.

  3. i386 version (possibly amd64 as well): to get integrated webcam (id: 5986:0101) to work I used the latest version of uvcvideo together with this patch which simply adds an entry for the webcam (patch submitted to uvcvideo so may appear in later versions):
