I've been using nforce2 boards for over a year now. When they first came out, I could only get the nforce lan to work with the nforce proprietary driver, but my board also had a 3com, not a real problem. The audio has always worked with the i810 driver, perfectly, and the IDE has worked fine. Since then, the drivers have been in the kernel (2.6, and most distro's backported some of the drivers into later 2.4's). Performance has been excellent. Heck, I'm on one now, where the gige onboard worked right out of the box - -- - -- Jayce^ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAm/mjA10/0O8cAHgRAnfvAJ4m41gqbSWCSRhoYVdYV6ylfY7j5QCff9vn kXjjTV9BucMxhTkUUiEFa7M= =+A5h -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
