I have been wanting to jump on the Athlon64/Opteron bandwagon but have held off hoping the initial hardware (BIOS/MB/RAM) and Linux install/driver problems would be reduced to a reasonable number. (Thanks to all of you). I am looking forward to SuSE 9.1 and am hoping that provides the ability to survive the jump with bruising but not a lot of blood. I am also looking forward to the next generation of MB coming on-line which, hopefully, will resolve some of the hardware problems. However, some of the newer boards such as the MSI K8N Neo, Chaintech ZNF3-250, and IWill use the nVidia nForce3-250. Does anyone know if SuSE 9.1 provides any support for these newer MB/chipsets (eg. nForce3-250) or are they just jumping back on the bleeding edge? Am I better using an older board with limitations and problems but known limitations and problems? Opions, guidance, suggestions greatly appreciated. R.Parr, RHCE Temporal Arts
