PCI-e, obviously, made in China, Fenvi brand seemingly endorsed by

working but would get slow after a period of time, needing to shut
down the system and turn back on to make it fast again.  The odd
antenna that magnetized to the top of the case (where would Larry put
it, if he bought this motherboard, not that he would of course, the
weirdo) is now removed, and I wiped dust off of the case and a bit
inside, while working.  Pretty happy.

   Well, we're always happy to see new, easy, devices.
   Alas China ... well ... beware. Got/analyzed the
   source code for those drivers ???
   For cheap/useful x86 boxes, check into Beelink
   and BMax. A large range to be had. For Linux,
   the N90/N100 ones will provide good performance
   for a very good price.
   It SHOULD be a matter of PRIDE though to make
   sure the included Winders does not run for a
   single microsecond before you overwrite with
   Linux  :-)
   Have several of these - various roles. All VERY
   good little boxes.
   NEXT up - a FreeBSD ... maybe my ultimate NAS ?
   PIs are very good - for Pi stuff  ... but if you
   don't need all those GPIO pins then maybe a
   BeeLink is what you're looking for. Somewhat
   better performance too - above Pi5.
