Hi Dotan,

In the last few years I purchased from Ivory several computers, usually
the cheapest ones with the simplest motherboards, etc., and was always
able to run the latest Linux (I prefer Fedora, but I don't think it
matters) without any problem.

I don't think the issue is whether Ubuntu supports it, but rather
whether the Linux kernel supports it. And with all likelihood, it
does (but don't come blaming me if it doesn't ;-))..

If you want to buy 4 computers, why not buy one, test it, and then buy
the 3 more?
