I did not see those requirements in Gary's note, just in your note; on rereading his note, they did not appear :-) For you, no, it won't work. For his case, I guess Gary can tell us. what kind of pci slots do your sound cards need? ron -- coreboot mailing list: coreboot@coreboot.org http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot

Not PCI-E or PCI-X, just normal PCI.

Finding a modern board with two 'old' PCI slots may be difficult, regardless
of coreboot... Have you seen any at all?
There are loads of new boards with at least two PCI slots; I've seen
many.

Re: [coreboot] New Motherboards?
so that answers your question, I guess: match the chipsets on those boards up, see what kind of flash, etc. and you maybe one will work? ron -- coreboot mailing list: coreboot@coreboot.org http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot

In general, it's not possible to know *even if you have a part number* because vendors change things on these boards all the time without changing the board number. I've bought boards in the past that were supported and a the board arrives and it has enough changes to qualify as a new board -- and the original part number. In general, the best bet is to buy a board which has vendor-supported coreboot -- such as the chromebox. ron -- coreboot mailing list: coreboot@coreboot.org http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot

[coreboot] New Motherboards?
Hello everyone, Are there any new motherboards that are fully supported? About mid-year 2013 I will be looking to build a new desktop / workstation. I would like to avoid UEFI like the plague. I am serious. If a donation would help I would like to propose a What board type discussion. I am guessing Intel? I am open minded on what board folks. I simply will not buy into UEFI. I have read quite a bit of the specifications material, and I simply do not believe that it cures any of the problems it seems to be saying it will. I can foresee a security / user nightmare coming. Corporate Root kits were bad enough before UEFI, I can only imagine how bad it will get after we are all Secured using UEFI. Thank you for your time and consideration, Gary Sheppard -- coreboot mailing list: coreboot@coreboot.org http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
