The SMC is a network card, I'm looking for low profile video cards. I saw the
cards at the last computer show (I think they were HP) and stopped short
simply becuase I was so stunned by how small they were. Just enought card to
hold a simgle chip above the PCI slot and a few traces running to the RJ45 jack
and LED. I didn't buy them, as I assume they'll be at the next show as it was
a vendor who is always there. And they said Linux right on the box.
