Hi everybody. I am thinking about upgrading my computer sometime shortly after 8.2 comes out. Right now I'm looking at MSI K7T266 pro2 or the pro2 RU. The RU version has on-board RAID which is a minus in my mind, but it also has USB 2.0 and I'm hoping that is a plus. Does anybody on the list have either of the 2 boards? I'm specifically wondering about: Does the integrated sound card work in Mandrake w/o a lot of hassle? Does the integraded network card work in Mandrake w/o a lot of hassle?
And if you have the RU: Can you disable the raid controllers in the BIOS so that they don't occupy any IRQs? What about the USB 2.0 ports? Is anyone aware of any issues/difficulties regarding those ports? I'd like to be able to use USB 2.0 when the time comes that it's properly supported by the kernel and I have some gimmicks to play with :-) Supposedly 8.2 beta4 has USB 2.0 in the kernel so it's all coming along... Thanks, Narfi.
