My Amilo SI 1520 introduced me to Vista for the first time, and maybe for the last. I found it cumbersome, slow and many things -as wiereless- didn't work at all.
So I decided to install the SO I use in my desktop, XP64 Professional. It took to me some effort to fit everithing, starting to prepare an instalation CD with the appropiate sata drivers. But I'm happy almost everithing is working smoothly, no more troubles with wifi.
If someone wants a organized pack with installation directions, just ask me for it at jgetino at telefonica dot net.
There still a component is not working: the audio. I tried with all the drives provided in the web, including vista 64. But even they seem to work ok when seen in the the device manager, the audio section of the control panel shows there is not audio driver installed (my XP64 installation is up to date).
The audio hardware of the amilo 1520 is a Conexant Cx20549 @ Intel 82801GBM ICH7-M. I googled for drives for it, but none worked. So I would appreciate any hint on how to solve this issue.
