Re: [expert] Motherboard and CPU recommendations

I am running with exactly that mobo, a Duron 800Mhz, 256Mb PC133 RAM, 30Gb
Maxtor ATA 100 drive, Guillemot Geforce 2MX 32Mb, Creative SB Live Value,
matsushita DVD-ROM, plus scsi card for my cdr, floppy drive, couple other
miscellaneous things. Overall it seems great, but it has been rough sledding at
times. I highly recommend the unofficial FAQ at http://www.viahardware.com/ I
have the NVIDIA drivers (976) working and GL is great now (run gdm, not kdm or
xdm) and I've been thinking of building a custom kernel and taking advantage of
UDMA mode and some other tweaks. Someday I might even start overclocking it...

[expert] Motherboard and CPU recommendations

2001-06-01 Thread Sheldon Lee Wen

Hi,

   I'm looking at getting an ABit KT7A and AMD 1.3 GHz (both 266mhz fsb)
Now, I know that there have been problems with via chipset boards in linux.
However, this is a second revision of the board, and I'm always running the
latest kernel. Can anyone comment on whether these are ok under linux now?

Thanks.
