Key pieces will be the northbridge, southbridge and LAN. Audio support |
| 10 |
will depend on the nature of the southbridge. Everything else on those |
| 11 |
boards looks pretty standardized. (You should be able to use AHCI for |
| 12 |
SATA, EHCI/XHCI for USB, UHCI for IEEE 1394...) |

For all three boards: |
| 15 |
North Bridge: AMD 880G |
| 16 |
South Bridge: AMD SB710 |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
The LAN chipset differs slightly: |

Gigabyte 880GM - Realtek 8111D |
| 21 |
GA 880GM-USB3L - Realtek 8111D/E |
| 22 |
880GM-USB3 - Realtek 8111E |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
AFAIK, the Realtek 8111 series is the onboard version of their 8169 |
| 25 |
series. I've got an 8111C in my system at home, and it works fine. I |
| 26 |
don't know about the D and E variants. |
