The 1700+ is a particularly good overclocker, so I don't think you'd get the same kind of percentage increase with a 2400+, but check out the forums at overclockers.com for more info on that. > > > > $84.00 Asus A7N8X Mobo (has onboard LAN and Sound not supported by > > > Mandrake yet) otherwise its a totally rockin' board. > > > > Or if you want total compatibility without messing around, a KT400 board > > is fully supported and the lan and sound will both work. > > I was thinking along the lines of a Soyo Dragon Ultra KT400 or Soyo > Dragon Lite. What are the main differences between these two? I run the Soyo Dragon Ultra Black edition. It works flawlessly in Linux, and will take the Barton core processors. The only thing that does not work is the Highpoint RAID controller which is a windows only thing. It works fine as an additional IDE controller though. I think the difference betwen the Ultra and the light is an onboard nic and the extra Highpoint controller.
The nforce2 boards are nice, but if you are a purist and don't like closed source drivers, you won;t get full function -- /g "Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a book, inside a dog it's too dark to read" -Groucho Marx
