Actually, I didn't really want an nforce2 motherboard. I just went for this one because it had AGP 8x and got high reviews. Could anyone point me to a motherboard that works well with linux, is not too terribly expensive, and has support for AGP 8x (I am going to try a Radeon with the new FireGL drivers, they are supposed to have good support with X and WineX). Thanks again!
