Thanks for the recommendation, but I stay away from ASUS
motherboards. I have one (ASUS CL2) in a server, now. The thing
originally had Micron RAMM in it, and it ATE 2 sticks of 256 (PC100)
RAM in the first few weeks. Lots of kernel panics and very strange
crashes of services and processes over a 3-4 month period, too. No
common cause, ... until other people had similar "strange" behavior
with that combination.
My advice to the list: Stay AWAY from ASUS motherboards and
Micron RAMM!! Very bad combination that WILL make your reliable
Linux box as bad or WORSE than a Windows NT server!
Switching to Samsung RAMM solved my problem with the kernel
panics and crashing. Seems that ASUS does something to the
programming of the boards. Dunno what, exactly.
