Hi all. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
My son's PC died (Bad caps) so he's getting my old one (Asus A8V with |
| 8 |
AMD64 3200) and I'm going to buy a new motherboard & a 4200 X2 |
| 9 |
processor. The question is, what's a good motherboard nowadays for |
| 10 |
AMD64 x2 processors? |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I have used an Asus A8VE in the past with gentoo, and apart from a few |
| 13 |
problems with ethernet it worked fine (Not mine, I installed it for |
| 14 |
someone else). But the A8Ve doesn't appear to be available any more, |
| 15 |
so I need to find a current one that's good with Linux. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Does anyone have any recommendations? The reviews at linuxhardware.org |
| 18 |
seem a bit dated, and no-one else really seems to say much except |
| 19 |
windoze windoze windoze... |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
The only specs I really have are amd64 x2, enough PCI slots (at least |
| 22 |
4) and PCI-express for graphics (Might as well move up while I"m at |
| 23 |
it). And needs both PATA & SATA, GigE and decent sound... (i.e. a good |
| 24 |
replacement for the A8V/A8Ve boards). |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Oh... Horror stories welcomed too. At least I'll know what to avoid |
| 27 |
from those:) |

TIA |
