Re: Using VIA C3 and Woody?
I have a 733 Mhz C3 at home. The motherboard is a soyo 7VEM.
It is a fairly small board. It has sound and video built in. I
use it as a fileserver, so I never bothered to install X or
sound, so I can't help on those to points. Otherwise a C3
based system is like any other i386 install. I compiled my own
kernel for it afterwards, but I didn't have too, the stock
ones worked just fine. The performance is a bit disappointing.
As a home fileserver it fits the bill, but I tested it with
setiathome and found it did no better than your average K6-2
or K6-3 500~ mhz.
