HP and Via have announced the release of the dx2020 in China that is powered by the Via C-7D desktop processor.

Only fast Ethernet? Come on, most corporate environments have gigabit now. Voip is really pushing companies to upgrade their networks. In my mind a business class machine needs gigabit. I want the Via processors to catch on, I would just hate to see something like that simple hold them back.
