[gentoo-user] new machine : (1) which CPU ?

2012-07-20 Thread Philip Webb
I plan to build a new machine in the next few months: it wb for regular desktop use, but performance is as important as price. A quick look at what was available in April suggested an Intel Ivy Bridge i7 ( 22 nm ) ; Phoronix said it works with Kernel 3.2 + an Intel Z77 mobo (I usually buy ASUS)

OP, If you need help with this, i'd be glad to help you pick parts for your build. The biggest thing is to make sure things work together. If the mobo only has SATA drive connectors, a IDE hard drive will not work. You have to make sure the memory will work with the mobo you have picked too.
