FWIW, I have a Dell Optiplex GX270 here that is running Haiku pretty
much perfectly (I consider it my primary Haiku testing box). Mine has
integrated intel video and 1GB ram along with a P4 2.8ghz and a 40gb
IDE drive.

I believe there was some hardware variation in the various GX270
models, however, so yours may be somewhat different.

I currently have:

Primary Partition 1 (sda1 = 6gb) = BeOS R5
Primary Partition 2 (sda2 = 6gb) = Haiku
Primary Partition 3 (sda3 = 1gb) = empty
Extended Partition (sda4 = 24.25gb):
   Logical Partition 1 (sda5 = 22gb) = Xubuntu
   Logical Partition 2 = (sda6 = 2.25gb) Linux swap

(I can provide GParted screenshot if desired)

I usually set aside a few primary partitions for Haiku/BeOS for simplicity.

I haven't needed to alter any settings - other than to set the video
ram "stolen" in the bios to 8mb - when it was set to 1mb, the video
was all scrambled when Haiku got to the desktop (I'm guessing that the
intel_extreme driver doesn't yet know how to grab its own memory for
this chipset)

I've been building mine from Xubuntu even though I could technically
use BeOS R5... it's much faster :)
