VIA Epia M

Because I can´t stand the noise my computer is making anymore I ordered a VIA Epia M10000 motherboard.

Does anybody know if it will be capable off running the Marine Aquarium ( or the Goldfish Aquarium )?

Specs can be found here:

Thanks in advance, Remi

You will likely need a video card. The chipset that comes on that motherboard probably won't run any kind of 3D software.

Just found a review where an 'older, slower version' ( Epia 9000 ) was tested running Quake III but it wasn't very fast

Anyway, I think I'll just have to wait and see, if it doesn't work I'll add a PCI graphics card ( no AGP on the motherboard )

Thanks for your reply Morgan, Remi
