I then tried to find a suitable motherboard, I did read that it certainly works with the NForce 590 chipset. In the end I gambled and bought a cheap ASrock motherboard, with integrated Video this was based on the NForce 430 chipset and Nvidia 6100 graphics. My gamble paid off and I'm rather pleased with my new server. I am using a X2 3800 CPU. -- David Bottrill [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.bottrill.org Registered Linux user number 330730 Internet Free World Dialup: 683864 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
