Dear SLE members,
I am considering the following HW components for my new PC (suse 9.1 and hopefully 9.2+):
MB: ASUS A7V8X-X CPU: AMD 2500+Barton VideoCard: ATI Radeon 9200SE-TV DVDrec: Pioneer 107D or 108D or A07XLA or A07XLB
I consulted HW database at suse website. There is an indication there that asus MB and Radeon are fully supported, the other two components are not explicitly mentioned.
I remember some threads here on problems with suse+asus and suse+ati. I searched list archives, but there is no so much info on particular models that I have in option. I noticed that asus refuses support to linux users, but if this MB really works with no problems, I think I can live without support.
Please, can anybody from the list post real life experience with any of components from the list above ???
TIA

All I can add is that the VIA chipsets have given me endless trouble and I've never had a single hardware problem with a Nvidea component. They also support linux very well indeed. If you want that processor I highly recommend that you get the ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe (an nForce2 board). It's the board that I'm using at the moment and it's far more reliable than anything I've used with a VIA chipset. Paul
