Hi, I'm looking at some barebones rigs with Athlon64 3400 in the socket A vendor offers Athlon64 3400 on many boards - some easy to weed out. Do all the devices on these boards work well with SUSE? Abit AN8 Ultra nF4 chipset - this board is loaded Abit KN8 Ultra nF4 chipset - about the same as above, but less RAID, and less IEEE1394 MSI K8N NEO4 Platinum - loaded but SATA not 3G, no RAID It bugs me that most boards now offer only 3 PCI slots. Would you suggest a loaded board that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? Especially, do you use one with built in 802.11g? Does that present any limiting issues such as incompatibility with some or many wireless routers? Lonn
