Hi all, I'm about to get myself a new machine, and I was thinking AMD would be the way to go...But as I have never owned anything but Intel's, I have a few questions.
Firstly the motherboard I think I'll get is a Gigabyte GA-7VTXH, it's pretty new and seems to be a good deal. It has onboard sound (Creative CT-5880) and onboard lan (Realtek 8100 10/100Mb) Does linux treat onboard hardware the same as say a pci realtec lan card? Or do I need special drivers for them? The rest of the hardware is pretty generic (GeForce2, Acer CDR) so should be fine. And does linux treat AMD as i386? I'm thinking about getting it from Dragon PC....I haven't got anything from them before....anyone have any good/bad experiences with them?
