You did ask here before you bought, and I know at least I (there may have been others) strongly encouraged you toward an Intel solution.
Also, the nature of my job means that I get to see a lot of different kinds of hardware, some of which I build Linux based systems around. Plus I have a really good personal relationship with a local computer parts dealer (and this is a really useful thing to have). If something does not work for me, they take it back no questions asked (and almost never a restocking fee). Of course I have been shopping here for 15 years, so the owners and a lot of the staff know who I am, and trust my motives. > > In Germany most dealers only sell AM2 and LGA775 based systems.

There are some underlying issues with the 2.6.26 series that is causing the Ubuntu Studio guys and gals some sleepless nights. The 2.6.27 is the series that shows promise for media production people. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFI4ZxOwRXgH3rKGfMRAuTjAJwLPA8pmA1M+hViL5wk/jM6eqjKZACeLtiA XayEQHgi1blvlvSFDkZdlAU= =LAlx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
