I am seriously looking at an Epox 87RD+ nvidia nforce2 board. It has EXCELLENT specs and an truly excellent price...but now I am given pause. I have no problem downloading an NVIDIA driver (I use the binary NVIDIA driver for my GeForce4 Ti4200) to get my mobo working in linux. Is there anyone on the list using an nforce2 board? Is all OK with the Nvidia driver? praedor - -- Patriotism as practiced in the USA is blindly accepting, noncritical, and silently following along.
