I sent this a couple of days ago and it seems it never made it to the list.
I will be getting an intel 815e motherboard with onboard sound and 4Xagp
graphics. I was wondering 2 things has anyone installed Mandrake 7.2 on
one of these, if so what "challenges" if any can I look forward to if any to
get the hardware recognized. I plan on doing a fresh install. According to
the intel FAQ I can anticipate it not seeing all of my memory for 2.x series
of kernels, it also looks like I will have to install a graphic driver from
intel for the agp support.
Also, since I currently use a Creatave TNT2 Ultra in 24bit will I be
disappointed by video performance, including openGL? The xfree86.org site
indicates 4.02 has improved DRI but only at 16. It does have a slot for
adding an agp video card if I choose, but I am wondering if this is worth the
added expense to play some games.
If anybody has some experience with these I would appreciate their feedback,
since I won't tackle this until the weekend I am trying to plan ahead.
Thanks
Jerry
