I was on vacation too and my mobo too conked off before that. I finally got myself a new system with Core-i3 + Intel DH55TC mobo and 2 GB DDR3 1333 MHz. RAM, 1 TB HDD, SATA DVD R/W. All this works out of the box with Ubuntu 10.04. I haven't tried out the HDMI and DIVX video outs. This board is good for light multimedia workstation type work. It has 4 RAM slots with a capacity upto 16GB ( No idea about 4 GB single RAMs). 4 SATA +2 eSATA ports. Good number of USB ports, faster bus speed of 1333 MHz. Gigabit LAN. > On Tue, Nov 2, 2010 at 8:14 PM, Rony Bill<[email protected]> wrote: > > I have had a spate of problems with Intel branded motherboards (5 in > the last 12 months - amongst them one workstation and one server > class).
