My Wishlist

Since my hardware upgrade has been delayed indefinitely (see this article for the details), there are a few things I would like to see happen before I do actually upgrade. Here's my list:
  1. A motherboard that actually uses the new Duron/Athlon thermal diode for better heat detection
  2. A motherboard with the speed of a VIA chipset without the AGP, USB, DMA transfer, and various other weird problems they've faced. I don't feel like trying a couple dozen settings in the bios, different video drivers, different 4-in-1 drivers over and over again until the board works. It's enough to make me consider an Intel 845D DDR board. They may not be as fast, but they work!
  3. Plenty of USB ports. Two won't cut it. Four is getting warm. USB 2.0 would be nice too.
  4. It's got to play well with Linux.
While I'm dreaming, I'd like a pony.
