My computer is badly showing its old age and it needs replacing.
I have been recommended to have an Asus P4P800-x motherboard, the specification of which looks good.
At the moment, I am using an SMC ethernet card, and have a question, please.
Does Mandrake "find" the on-board 10/100 ethernet chipset of this motherboard, or would I be better off still using my SMC card? I don't know what chip is used, as it doesn't tell on the Asus web site.
Thanks, Anne and Dan for your very prompt replies. 15 minutes between my sending the question and your replies. Not bad service, that :)
I am very pleased that you say the Asus motherboard and the on-board Ethernet chipset both work well with Mandrake. I will use that, rather than my SMC card.
Why I asked is because, if I remember correctly, there have been comments on the list in the past, that there are problems with some on-board Ethernet chipsets. I may have mis-remembered though. Fortunately those comments don't apply in this instance.
Thanks again for the replies.
Keith
