Hi all,
Currently I'm running two good machines, one for windows, and one for
Linux which acts as my server.
However, I'm picking up a new dual P3 motherboard and two 750 chips on
monday, and was thinking, since I'm doing mostly C++ work it might be a
better idea to just put Linux on that (originally that was going to
replace my Windows machine).
After thinking about it some more, I thought I might just switch over to
Linux completely. Most of what I do is coding, and whatever else is just
standard web browsing and email. I already use pine for all of my email.
My only concerns are how well Mandrake 8.0 would support a dual P3 750
setup using the VIA 694 northbridge. I know in the past, with my current
linux machine, I've had to set agpgart=apg_try_unsupported to use nvidia
drivers for example.
I just want to make sure that everything is going to work, and work well,
before I spent a day setting everything up the way I like it.
I'd like to get some reassurance from others that might have recently
switched over completely, as well as people running SMP systems as
workstations.
Thanks
