I'm thinking about a new system, and at the moment I'm leaning towards
the Soyo SY-P4S-645DX DRAGON Ultra motherboard. The chipset is
SiS 645DX with a SiS 961B "southbridge". The Mandrake "hardware
compatibility" database doesn't have these listed either way.
The MB does have ATA/133 "RAID", but I'm not really interested in using
that. (I've seen the postings about problems with that part.)
To go with this MB, I'm thinking about a P4 at 2.23GHz with 533MHz FSB,
1GB of PC2700 DDR RAM, a 7200 RPM ATA/133 disk, a 128 MB ATI All-in-
Wonder 8500DV video card, and an NFREN 18.1" NF-1800MAP LCD monitor.
(Yeah, I know, both the video card and monitor have TV tuners. :-)
Should be noticably faster than the 233 MHz MMX box I'm writing this
on. :-)
Anyway, I'd like to know if anyone has booted the above mentioned MB
(or chipset) under either Mandrake 8.1 or 8.2? (What kernel did you
use?)
