 I have 6 Dell Latitude D800 notebooks.
They work fine with several of the older distros.
I like them because 3 have 1920x1200 resolution which is no longer
available. Also, they are tough.
The old distros are also are needed because the "nouveau" open NVIDIA
drivers do not correctly identify the video cards.
I have GoForce FX4200 32MB and 64MB cards, also GoForce FX5200 32MB and
64MB, and FX5265 128MB.
The 32MB cards, which are more common, are recognized as 64MB.
I have WXGA, WSXGA+, and WUXGA screens, if some one wants to help with
the "nouveau" problems.
I have put the newer model Pentium M in one machine.
The machine claims it is not supported, but it seems to work.
