There was a test in the latest german computer-magazin c't . The pc-chips was not tested. Asrock K7VM2: S3 is not functional Onboard video with Xfree 4.2 only in vesa modus, some problems with tested memory (optosys). UDMA only with kernel > = 2.4.20 So nothing for Madrake 9.0 without extensiv updating from cooker. The 9.1 should work with it. If this board is good enough for you depends too on the processor you want use for it. They write you will loose power from the processor if you use an athlon above XP1900. If you want use a processor bigger then that you should pay more for the mainboard. nforce2-boards should be the fastest as I read it in that article. If you don't want the cheapest , but want not pay to much they recommend msi 6712 (kt3v-l) (kt333 chipset) (you need here again update your kernel I guess) Hope this helps a bit ... they tested boards from 60 EUR - 180 EUR (Asrock => 60 EUR, MSI => 105 EUR, nforce2 => 140/180 EUR) -- Regards Steffen ____________________ counter.li.org : #296567. machine: 181800 vdr-box : 87 ____________________ Please dont CC me, since if I have replied I'll watch the tread.
