Thanks, Shlomo, it's helpful indeed. > This Motherboard has lots of extra features that you may not need > (in fact I guess I don't either) like dual Raid, 2 on-board LAN > chips (10/100 & 10/100/1000) NVidia Gbit? Are you using the forcedeth driver? Does it work without a problem? I have just given the code (the comments, actually :) in 2.6.12 a quick look and it seems that some problems are not excluded. This is also mentioned in some of the reviews of nVidia-based boards I've seen so far. Can anyone say anything about the Abit KN8 Ultra-9 mobo? It has nForce4 Ultra chipset, nVidia's LAN chip, and GeForce 6600 PCI-E graphics card. It looks like the latter will not be a problem driver-wise. The LAN chip still has me concerned a bit. I have googled around but there does not seem to be a lot of useful info. > In any case, go for a 939 pin board (not 754) since this will allow future > upgrapes of the CPU.
