I have this little dell. Its a P4 2.8 with 2 gigs of ram and 20gig hd. It uses the 865g Intel GMA. It installs successfully and goes through the motions of setting up the mce. A few questions. is there any way that I can use the UI2 with out alpha blending, or is the vdo card too much of a POS? If I turn off DHCP and disable the router I cant get in to the admin page from any computer except the core. I can ping it and get replies but no admin page from anywhere else. I also use the gyration remote from Gyration and not the FIIRE remote, does the mod work pretty good? Any replies would be very helpful thanks everyone.
Also have any of you hooked up a digital cable scientific atlanta hd box via the usb port or firewire port and got any signals or anything?
I have 2 of them that i use for MDs since they are so quiet as far as the ui2 thats a no the card cant handle it i just use the basic, still rocks for a little machine though
what are your settings on that little guy?
