RE: [newbie] A good Motherboard
Ok now after I got my motherboard, I am trying to make linux detect the built-in Promise Fasttrack card in my motherboard MSI K7T Turbo-R. I don't want the card to work as a raid. I want to just to work as a normal IDE. Hard Drake is detecting the Promise card under Other Devices.

It may work with reduced capacity as a non-RAID controller, but the driver Promise made available to Andre Hedrick for FastTraks in non-RAID mode is lucky to see one channel and limit itself to one device on that channel. In fact tests have shown it not to work more often than not. The regular IDE channel on this is ATA-66/100 as well, and should work unimpeded.

Re: [newbie] A good Motherboard
hy, i dont know if there are special drivers for linux but the asus a7v133 has 4 ide channels. 2 are normal ide's, so they work under linux for sure. the other 2 are controlled by a promise chip (for win98 you need a driver from promise for them). the connectors can be used to access 4 ide peripherals, or the 2 primary ide's can be used to build a raid-0 array. regards mp Am Montag, 28.

Re: [newbie] A good Motherboard
http://www.abit-usa.com/english/index.htm I suggest you view the preceeding URL for info on Abit motherboards. They have a product line that supports Pentium and AMD with all the modern chipsets available today for the most part with 4 eide ports(be aware that the extra ports require another IRQ if your already starved here). The BE6 series of motherboards are slot 1 type for Pentium or celeron processors only includingthe coppermines series(FC-PPA flipchip orPPGA celeron with adaptor as well will function). They are based on a 440BX chipset that was originally designed for 100 Mhz bus only. However Abit retails one board in the 440BX that is advertised as a 133 Mhz board. In my bios setup for different processors it does automatically set the settings for the 133 processor line in my BE6 II without going into the custom overclocking settings Abit was always noted for. If I already had a processor that was 133 though I think I would choose a chipset that was designed for that speed such as the intel 815 chipset. Personally I would stay away from the 810 chipset though since it seemed extremely slow to me on the few boards I occasion to encounter. The 440BX chipset however while old by todays standards was almost too good. Intel and others had one heck of a time beating it and I feel it is still a good choice for up to 1 Gig pentium III processors. However you must make sure the bios will go that high. On abits site when taking note of the processors that each individual board will run.don't count that board out if it doesn't support your processor until after you review the bios flashes available for that board. Although you should consider availability of a lower speed processor to do the initial bios flash. Some would say that it would be a poor investment because it is not upgradable very much at this point. Personally I feel that is a rather weak argument these days because things are going so fast that the only true upgrade almost always requires replacing the whole motherboard to make enough of a change to say you really did an upgrade. Latest and greatest is not always best because it's likely to be buggy...just as the boards I'm recommending were to begin with. And I think its safe to say older reliable chipsets are much more likely to be properly support by Linux. Another one of Abit's most redeeming qualities is that their support teams continue to provide upgrades to most Abit motherboards as much as possible. Sometimes not fast enough...lol...but compared to other manufactures I personally would place them in the top 4. The other brands I like are Asus, Microstar, Supermicro, but beware on boards like Supermicro where processor multiples and bus speeds are set with pin settings thus limiting upgradeability via a simple bios flash.

Re: [newbie] A good Motherboard
And I just got a new one for my son, an asus cubx, and it has 4, with some mention in the book about 8 devices and raid. It uses the old tried and true 440BX chipset tho.
