I'm leaning AMD for now because of upgradability (Duron now, Athlon in 15-20 months). I may change my mind if Intel starts spitting out its line of P4-Celerons before I go shopping, but until then all I can afford is a high level Duron/Celeron and I'll only get boards that can handle P4's/Athlons because I want to notch it up in a year or so. That leaves me with AMD for now. Any word on the Socket-A's? Peace, Isaac Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Hi I have a Elite K7S5A. Mandrake 8.2 installation was very smooth including the onboard ethernet. Somehow the alsa driver of Mandrake 8.2 did not work with the onboard sound chip. Sound driver need to be used. To do so, changes in the modules.conf is required. There was detail in Mandrake web site. My module.conf is as followed after changed. pre-install pcmcia_core CARDMGR_OPTS=-f /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start alias usb-interface usb-ohci probeall scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi alias eth0 sis900 alias sound i810_audio #alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-intel8x0 #above snd-card-intel8x0 snd-pcm-oss mjh Isaac Curtis wrote: I'm putting together a new computer and haven't been able to confirm whether or not Linux supports the embedded ethernet adapters found in motherboards like Intel's D815EA2LU and Elite Groups' ECS K7S5A.

Thanks, Isaac ~~~ I've installed Mandrake 8.2 and 9.0beta2 on a system with the ECS K7S5A board running a Duron 1100 with no more trouble than usual.

Re: [newbie] Embedded Ethernet Adapaters
Okay, I'm psyched to hear about the ethernet success. As for onboard sound, the AC '97 audio gave me hell when I first tried Linux on my family's ABIT-VH6-II system. What's up with the whole AC '97 problem anyway? I remember I went through hours of hell solving it and don't even remember what I did because it was over a year ago. Your email is saved in my /home now because I'm sure I'll refer to it later, but I'm curious as to the actual source of the problem. Is AC '97 flawed or is it that linux is not on top of its drivers? Should I avoid doing another AC '97 system? This is going to be a 100% Linux machine. Isaac On Sunday 11 August 2002 03:48, you wrote: Hi I have a Elite K7S5A.

Re: [newbie] Embedded Ethernet Adapaters
Mine is (on an ECS M748LMRT motherboard). It was far easier to get going under Linux than under Windows, in fact. Of course, your mileage may vary.
