In tests we found that the sl52 installer kernel happy enough on i7 desktop machines - but there are i7 specific improvements listed in the changelogs of the kernels for sl53 (those are available as security updates for sl52 anyway)... We had more fun the the networking chipsets that happened to be on the boards that the maker used and we continue to have cooling problems because the maker we bought from seemed to have under-estimated the amount heat that would be produced - maybe they didn't expect people to be running code flat-out on them... - Jon -- /\ | "Computers are different from telephones.

Re: Intel I7
Ken, We had trouble running SL 5.2 with Intel I7 processor and the Asus PT6 MB (x58 Intel chipset). We had no troubles using SL 5.3 though.

Re: Intel I7
I have logged into one beta machine where someone had it working. I didn't do the install myself so not sure if any magic was required.
