my very nice $600 non-Windows PC from Walmart is a deal.
The chipset is SiS .... for P4 .... SDRAM .... Hey, Ollie, where is the port?

And while you are checking on it....... how about a port for the SiS 650 + 961 since Microtel also uses this chipset in its laptops.

send me lspci -vvv ;-)

Ollie, since I'm sure you get inundated with requests for all the different mobo types out there, maybe we can set up a webpage/db that will allow people to submit the lspci -vvv data along with the motherboard type and possibly a link to the motherboard on manufacturer's website?
I may be working with Rob Minnich on a mysql db that would hold our data for the config file generator. If that's the case, I could put this page together rather easily.
Then people could go to the page and if their motherboard has already been submitted, cast a new "vote" for it; and if it's not listed, they could submit a new request (with the above info [lspci -vvv; etc]). As such, you could prioritize the most popular/requested motherboards and do your magic accordingly.
It's just a thought. I really want to help the project out as much as I can (I'm a web/php/mysql developer and not really a C/ASM coder).
Your thoughts?

It would be a good idea for end-user to pickup an MB and install LinuxBIOS on it. It would be good for the developers too, I doubt there is anyone have any idea about what MB/Chipsets are supported exactly.

It is good to have someone with Web/DB programming skill for the project. I tried to learn things like Zope/PostgreSQL, but I found that I an not that kind programmer.

Was the question ever solved as to what chipset is used in the $199 model from walmart.com?

It is a Giga-byte mobo, the GA-6VEML: http://tw.giga-byte.com/products/products.htm. They list it as the VIA VT8602 (PLE133T) and VIA VT82C686B chipsets.
