1 Thanks for the reply.
2 I love linux, his power and flexibility, but i don't think buying a p3 or
3 athon X2 64 only to have linux on Bios. I didn't know that project but it
4 seem quite interesting. I hope some major motherboard builders seriusly
5 invest on the project and bring it to the world of the home computers. It
6 would be pretty interesting to see on market linux bios and Ami or other
7 vendors bios .
8 So for my question I thanks again for the reply. If there are no problems with
9 nvidia or intel mobo (but this is true for all the nvidia and intel mobo?
10 There are no problem with other chipset integrated on the motherboard?), then
11 I need to focus on performance (SLI or future upgrade) and princing.

13 Thank you again.
