My only comment would be how many ram slots does the new m/b have for each type of memory?
If you are only using 2 sticks of 133 at the mo, you would normally be ok, but if you have a combination of more than that, it might not all fit on the m/b :( Also remember that if you want to upgrade your memory, then you will have to ditch ALL your 133 stuff for DDR (you cant run both types at once) :( Matt Lowe On Mon, 2003-06-23 at 01:36, Phil Deane wrote: > Hi Folks > > Further to my last message I went to Ebuyer.com and picked out some stuff :) > > I have googled for any linux problems and don't think i found anything except > a bios security flaw with the motherboard, which only affects a physical > presence in front of the machine, which isn't important. > The components I am thinking off are: > > ECS K7S5A-L SKT A ATX DDR/SDR Audio and LAN Motherboard - On board sound, I > think AC97.
