    I dont know that specific model "8220D" but since it doesnt mention what chipset and Graphics are used the I would assume it is SIS based.

    IQon Qompanion 8220D
    Intel Pentium 4 Processor 2.2 GHz
    14.1 XGA TFT Display
    256 MB DDR RAM
    30GB HDD
    DVD Drive
    56k Modem
    Soundblaster Pro Compatible Sound
    Ultra AGP graphics supporting REAL 2D/3D Graphics :eek:
    4 X USB Ports
    10/100 LAN
    TV OUT
    5 X Easy Start Application buttons
    1 X IEEE 1394 Firewire Port
    400 MHz Front Side Bus
    1 X PCMCIA
    MS Windows XP
    MS Works 2001
    External USB floppy drive
    FREE LAPTOP BAG


    The toshiba 1410-604 is a better example as it uses the video type :
    nVidia GeForce4 420 Go 16MB AGPx4

    Which is far better supported by nVidia with linux drivers downloadable from their site


    Just my 2c

    Aren't ESB shops extremely over priced? I'd shop around before going for them...
