I also use boards with Intel embedded graphics chips. :-) They also have |

a strong open-source effort. In fact, I think they have the best |

open-source driver support in the industry. |

Perhaps "never" is too harsh. When AMD chips have full support of |
| 15 |
features in open-source drivers for the Xorg server that are |
| 16 |
stable and fast without any 32-bitness then perhaps I will reconsider. |

But I don't expect that to happen any time soon. |
