On the MotherBoard page, just pick the appropriate category and make an entry for that model of motherboard. Comment on the Hyperthreading working, and any other features that are good or not working. How? You'll find just about everything you need to know on

Well, I think my motherboard decided to just randomly die the other night. Worked fine the night before, but in the morning didn't respond to the power switch. I checked the power cables and swapped the power supply for a known good one - still nothing. So that would be mobo then, I guess...

TE; The Asus P4S800 is very nice for Linux. Been running three without problems. Don't know which CPU you have but this takes P4's. Also handles Hyper-Threading with the new P4's, so that Linux sees one P4 as two P4's. Works very well like that too! Lanman *** REPLY SEPARATOR

Why would the N-Force boards be a problem? The Nvidia video cards can be an issue but I've not heard of any issues (to my limited knowledge) with the N-Force mobos. In fact, I'm thinking of picking one up with a new Athlon XP proc. :-) On Wednesday, Dec 17, 2003, at 08:48 US/Central, Derek

Shawn; There's been a lot of problems with the nForce chipsets - both in Windows and Linux. The new nForce3 chipsets have also been causing problems. Since it seems to be a random problem which happens with various models and brands of motherboards, a lot of people are staying away from boards

Derek; I agree with you about the video cards, and installing the drivers for either the chipsets or video cards is certainly a requirement for proper operation. No Question there! It's just that I belong to a lot of groups which are hardware-related and the general concensus is to avoid nForce
