I've got a A8N Deluxe. I've got everything working except the NIC that comes with the chipset. There are 2 NICs on the mobo, the other is a marvell yukon, you should have no problem with that. For the onboard sound, the alsa i8x0 will work. I've got a 6600 GT and a pair of Corsair rams. I've got the graphics card working with no problem. I haven't yet had time to try the nforce binary driver, you might want to give it a try. One final reminder, X.org 6.8.0 has a bug that messes the mouse cursor under amd64. But that shoudn't be too worrying. HTH. -- Joe -- Money can't buy everything. Sometimes money can't even buy a gun... -- [email protected] mailing list
