Or you can use 64bit intel fortran, which is also free (the same conditions) - 
in the case you want the 64bit version of CMPD

As far as I know the security updates for testing branch go through unstable 
branch with maximum priority (approx. 2 days till they get into the testing). 
If I'm wrong, please, correct me.

I think, I understand what U want to say... I wanted only to show that not 
frequently commented hw could be so bad, no one use it, or so good, there are 
no (or very little) problems. Or also there is no firm which distributes 
they. :)

me too - the only one system I ever overclocked was my Mobile Athlon XP - and 
it was only partly overclocked - higher FSB and equally lower multiplier so 
CPU core runned approximately on the same frequency.

Personally, I don't like MSI very much - I know people, which has endless 
problems with MSI MB (on one case even with the 3th or 4th replaced MB). 
Gigabyte are quite good - from my point of view. And Asus is one of the best 
- but once my friend found on forums they could not be (sometimes) 
rockstable. On other hand the EPOXes were... (but it can be only the effect 
of smaller statistical set). So he bought Epox (exactly the same mentioned in 
the first mail in this thread) and he is satisfied (before he found this 
information he planed to buy some asus).

So I suppose with Epox U won't have problems (probably as same as with the 
higher asus models)

We will have (in our company) 2 pcs. of exactly the same model U mentioned. So 
probably I can later reffer - when they arrive...
BTW: I have Epox MB at home (sock. A with nForce2) and no problem (and my 
friends have similar experiences).
When U didn't hears about something it doesn't mean it is bad. Just it can be 
more specialised to some buyers...  Or people for some (stupid) reason dont 
know them... As far as I know, epox MB are excellent especially for 
overclocking (similar or very slightly worse DFI Lanparty MB) - better than 
asus - no offence ;)

Re: dual opteron m/b: S2875ANRF vs. GA-7A8DW

We have (at work) this mainboard and I must say it is perfect rock-stable 
piece. It is used for biomolecules simulations, so most time it has full load 
and till now without any problem (for 3 months). So I only can give the 
recommendation for this one.

try to get size of MB ( e.g. from manual) and compare with your case...

I don't know which is better, but the intel works perfectly - although tested 
only on Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) - no available 1 Gbps switch :(

I know only about 2 Tyan MB in my neighbourhood - without any problem. But 
with one Gigabyte A64 (sock. 754) MB (K8VT800) we have serious problem - it 
cannot run with 2 DIMM double sided modules - but ram is problemfree - I 
don't know if it is problem with CPU or MB, but there are some people on 
forum.amd.com, which complain about same or very similar problem with 
gigabyte MB. :(

E.g. company Sunsway is making PCI cards with 1 or more (up to 6 I think) 
RS232 ports (http://www.sunsway.com.hk/) - it uses "ST Labs" name for their 
products. But I don't know nothing about the quality of these cards or 
company in general. I just hope, it could help U. ;)
