RE: yahoo/microsplat Heard the news of this over my morning coffee, gagged and spat.... I've had the same yahoo address for so long I can't remember just when I started it. It's become a repository of useless email and all of my "real" communications are through gmail these days. If the Evil Empire actually buys yahoo, I'll kill the damn thing and Bill Gates can go kiss a donkey's hinder quarters!

In all seriousness, Intel's graphics chips have an excellent driver available for them (the new "intel" driver as opposed to the older "i810") that can even do a subset of accelerated 3D rendering with some nicety. They also have the advantage of being low-power. One of the really awesome things about using an Intel graphics chip on a laptop is the xrandr 1.2 support which pretty much guarantees that you'll be able to plug your laptop in to a projector and have it "just work".

I'm more an AMD man than an Intel man on the desktop, but I'm not willing to go that route on a laptop. That said, though, I am also highly unwilling to buy anything with an Intel/S3/VIA GPU as I may be stuck w/o my gaming rig in the near future. Can anyone recommend a tabletpc w/nvidia gpu & Intel proc that's actually available in US markets? I can't find anything at all, which seems just nuts to me.
