A new workstation runs... solaris express b25

Got a new machine: AMD X2 Dual Core 4800+, 250GB SATA2 disk, 2GB RAM
for aprox 2000e from MikroMafia. It is fast. Very fast. Worked fine with
Solaris Express build 25 from www.opensolaris.org/os/downloads

Some details below:

Mobo: ASUS A8N-SLI Premium S939 NF4 SLI 2*GLAN
CPU: AMD ATHLON 64 X2 4800+ S939 (2 x 1024 KB L2)
Memory: 2048 MB 4KPL 512Mb Kingston PC-3200 DDRAM
HDD: 250 GB SATA2 16MB Cache
Video: GEFORCE 6600 256MB VGA+DVI+TV-OUT

Disk:
SATA2 250GB Maxtor 16MB cache: works fine using nvidia controller.
This mobo has two SATA controllers. I haven't tried using Sillicon Image,
the 2nd controller.

Video:
I have a Geforce 6600, works fine with Xorg. I will try soon to install nvidia drivers
to gain some performance. Maybe I should try bzflag then :)

Network:
I have two Gig NICs. Im using the nvidia one fine without any
problems. However the second one, which is a Marvell 88E81001 should
have drivers for Solaris. I haven't got time for that yet.

The system is fast, very fast. JDS seems flying. Looking forward to get build27 soon.
