I got my P4S533 in July. Great and stable board! The onboard LAN and sound is supported in standard marcello kernels, but you'll need a newer -ac kernel (I use 2.4.20-pre8-ac2), if you want to be able to use NVIDIA's 3D accel. drivers via AGPGART. Finally I can play UT2003demo on my P4S533. ;) The 2.4.20-pre8-ac2 also gave me UDMA support for the SIS5133 onboard IDE controller. With a standard 2.4.18 kernel (not supporting SIS5133) I only got 3 MB/sec for disk reads (tested with hdparm -tT). With the new 2.4.20-pre8-ac2 and UDMA enabled I get 46 MB/sec. /frederik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
