All; I am just setting out to build a couple of boxes. One will be based on the Athlon 64. My question is: What mobo(s) are preferred with Suse Linux?
Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

I always hate to answer these questions because it seems someone smarter, wiser, more experienced then rebutts with all the things I have not seen or found. With that disclaimer: I have been using MSI K8T Neo FISR for several months now, AMD 64 3000+. I have two SATA drives attached to the main SATA, CD/DVD as drive hdc and DVD writer as drive hdd. When I tried to attach IDE ATA drives to the additional SATA/ATA Promise chip I got lock-up or refusal to boot with 9.0. I did not need the disks, just wanted to see if it would all work. Dis-connected, and have not really tried with 9.2, stock. Install was a very mild adventure: upgrade would not recognize the SATA drives and could not be talked into it, clean install had no problem finding and using the drives. Running 9.2 now, solid, fast, happy. What few issues I see now seem related to video: I am a baby nvidia user. Richard
