| Post subject: | intel d201gly Mini MB Frontend |
would like to use this MB as a diskless frontend. I picked one up for 99.00 including a gig of ram. I have to use the vesa driver as I can not watch tv using the sis driver. The frontend works fine until I go to watch tv then i get just colored lines. Just letting any one considering it to beware, although it works fine with Vesa, cpu usage when watching live SD tv is about 70% . So it does work fine. The board has no tv out but I use a projector with the vga out. Craig PS: Anyone with suggestions as to how I might get it working with the sis driver, send them my way. |

Intel has posted a driver on there support site. Using this driver and a bit of fooling around I have a great low power network booting frontend. Playing SD TV cpu usage is about 50% (was 90% using vesa) Cost MB and 1 gig of ram $90.00 Mini ITX Case $80.oo Thats it, no hard drive no optical drive. Craig |
