Radeon 7000
AGP 2.0 Compliant BUS- AGP 2X (3.3V), AGP 4X (1.5V), or AGP2X/4X based
up to 64MB DDR

I installed this on my core with UI2 (without alpha-blending)
had a few issues but nothiing major.

I had to stop AVWizard from reconfiguring my xorg.conf was I had completed the wizard
and then re-edits the xorg.conf to get colour back.

will add more on how to use this card

* Oboard sound. Not used since I don´t watch media on this machine.
* 1x DVD burner
* 1x Squeezeslave.
* 1x cheap USB audio (2-channel)
* VDR for livetv. Still waiting for the fully functional vdr integration.

== MD 1 - Family Room downstairs==
* IBM NetVista M51. Very slim and quiet machine.
* 3GHz Pentium4. Socket 775.
* Onboard Intel graphics. (do not work at the moment)
* Onboard intel gbit network. Unable to pxe boot due to mysterious errors. Will try to fix.
* Soundblaster Audigy 2.

== Sony PS2 - Upstairs ==
* Game machine primarily use by our kids.

== Network Setup ==
* 1x 8-port 10/100Mbit switch
* 1x 8-port gigabit switch
* 2 MD's
* Linksys WRT54G Wireless Router (with openwrt). Connect to internet and act as primary firewall.

== Future ==
* Automation of lights.
* Integration/control of HVAC. Especially FAN speed.
* Add low-power MDs. Perhaps with Intel Atom chipsets. Need to buy one to test first.
* Get total power consumtion down since electricity is very expensive in sweden.
* Get wireless in core to act as an AP.

== TODO ==
* Add floorplan images.
* Nicer look. Hey I´m no webdesigner...
