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... |

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 |
