I can duplicate that story with 2 of them, running the 10.04.4 LTS Ubuntu linux server edition, with a special rtai patched realtime kernel, running a lathe and a milling machine. Some folks would call that dangerous machinery. But the on board i915 video works flawlessly, and quite a bit faster than VESA. These are machines that would get retired or the job offloaded to a $90 specialty card if the IRQ latency ever went above 5 microseconds. More usual measurement is 2 microseconds. For this bit of critical usage, all one can say about them is that they Just Work(TM). Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
