Yup. Acer makes a nice Dec Tulip, the Acer ALN-310 (I've got a half dozen),
and a newer one, the Acer ALN-315 which I haven't dealt with but appears to
be a dec tulip chipset, and the Acer ALN-320 which looks like a piece of
complete garbage (it is not a dec tulip as far as I know).

Are the URL's for the Acer ALN310 and 315, I can only vouch for the 310, as
I have never used a 315. My supplier sells them at: www.best-comp.com, at
about 30$USD a piece (or less, it's like $50 canadian).
