Hi !
I've just installed my EFIKA (without at case for now). I've made some pictures and a small video for those not having an EFIKA yet :

My EFIKA first boot ! videos & pix

I'm currently installing Linux Debian and will take more pictures later...

The EFIKA is completly silent !
EFIKAcity without any noise ;-)

It does not any more. Sorry for that...
I've removed this option so that anyone can watch the videos & pix without registering.

First post from my EFIKA : it works fine, but Gnome is a bit slow... I will try another desktop manager later...

i can't wait to see how e17 would behave on the Efika.
XFCE4 would be a good alternative though

he just ordered it. These cards are easy to find. (Radeon 9250 low profile or Radeon 9200 low profile)

I was fairly sure that the efika requires a first generation AGP card (3.3V) card. If I don't manage to find one whilst i'm in europe I should have a S3 card lying about somewhere.

I've bought this card in a shop.
It is AGPx8 but works at AGPx1.
For more information about AGP and voltages, look at this link on wikipedia :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerated_Graphics_Port

And here are a few french shop where you can order it from Internet :

Cheers for the information! AGP hardware is much easier to get your hands on for much cheaper
