Re:Intel D945GCLF2

hello, I read on Wiki Hardware that works "and I saw that Intel D945GCLF2 mini-ITX seems to perform well.
I wanted to know if you can easily install or need to compile EMC2 driver.
Regards Mauro

A Live-CD installation onto fresh hardware should "Just Work"

I wanted to know if this card has problems getting the onboard video. I wanted to buy it to replace my motherboard that has a very high latency.
thanks

The D945GCLF2 will work with a Live CD install and no modifications (other than setting the parallel port to EPP mode in BIOS). The onboard video plays well with EMC, and it won't require an add-on video card. However, the D945GCLF2 went out of production and is getting impossible to find through primary sellers. The D510MO works also, but you'll need to install Ubuntu 10 then EMC in order to use the on-board ethernet and audio. Once installed this way, everything should work, including the on-board video.

There is an experimental 10.04 LiveCD now somewhere, but I can't find it atm.
