Ok guys, I'm looking for suggestions. I'm not opposed to hearing that I am going in completely the wrong direction and need to rethink this platform and head in a different direction.
About to build Another new system. Planning on an Athlon XP 2200+, 2 x 256 Corsair PC2700 SDRAM, nforce2 board, and want a video card that is as compatible as possible with RH .......I'm not a gamer, won't be watching DVD's but I do like my screen to refresh nice and fast. I guess what I need to know is .......does anyone have any suggestions on which nforce2 mainboards I should specifically go for and/or run from and the same thing for video cards that fit my non-gaming but very desktop responsive needs. I will be using this system with Redhat 7.1, 7.3, and 8.1 (using psyche3 currently). These are the versions of RH that we use in our data center so I am specifically targeting them. Will the nforce2 chipsets freak out RH 7.1 and 7.3 since it has the built-in almost everything. Although, I will be compiling my own everything in a couple of months......our data center simply installs and runs As Is, thus that is what I will be doing initially and that being the case I suppose the mainboard and video cards I select should have the best drivers implemented from the get go. Last but not least........has anyone had any experience yet that they can share with the KT400 chipset mainboards and Linux. whatayathink???? Thanks, Cleve
