First a Server board, then even more recently, a desktop board was just added 
to libreboot.

So that order was: Laptop; Server; Desktop    ;)

I notice a HUGE difference between my X60 and my R400.  Having 64bit is a great 
start - more memory then the 3GB in x60.  Better graphics, is also an 
advantage.  But "raw" cpu power is night and day betwen the two.
