Have operated with Athlon/Duron's and Via chipsets, for a few years now and nothing has been a problem with the hardware. Personally I would steer clear of ECS and MSI boards plus anything with SiS chipsets. I have used Asus, Soltek, Epox, Gigabyte and Abit only. -- Keith Antoine (GANDALF) aka 'skippy' 18 Arkana St, The Gap, Queensland 4061 Australia PH:61733002161 Retired Geriatric, Sometime Electronics Engineer, Knowall, Brain in storage _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
