I'm hoping to build a small machine that I will be able to watch DVD's and maybe play some music on. I've been looking at the new VIA MII6000E board and it looks like what I want. I am hoping on fitting it with out a hard drive and use a Pen Drive to boot a distro of Linux off (haven't decided yet, look at my other thread ) and i'm gonna have a 1gb CF card in the card reader as extra space. I belive you cannot boot from the new Card Reader so I would use the Pen drive?
Now the VIA MII 6000E mainboard only has a 633MHz processor, would you say that is powerful enough to watch DVD's and listen to Music on? I will probably be using a DVD Rom drive to play the DVD so think it could hack it?
Cheers in advance for your help
