Hello All,
I have searched Suse's hardware database trying to find a server- class dual xeon or dual Athlon MP motherboard that I can buy and load SuSE 8.2 professional on with no results. Their hardware database is too far behind current technology.
I want to put together an "EXTREMELY" fast system with a minimum of 2 - 2.6GHz + Xeons or Athlons and a U320 or U160 SCSI hard drive(s) and 2 Gig or more of memory. I need to know if there is a dual cpu motherboard that SuSE 8.2 Professional will run on of this calibre.
Can anyone tell me if any of the motherboards in this list will work?
We use an Intel SHG2 Reliance Computer Corp/ServerWorks mobo (onboard vga) 400MHz FSB; 160MBs SCSI controller plus usual other I/O's (USB2, etc) Twin 2.0GHz P4 Xeons cpu's (512kb L2) RAM is 2GB Backup is Seagate Scorpion DDS-4 tape drive All seen and properly recognised by SuSE 8.2 AFAIK this is ± 1.5yr old technology
For Xeon CPUs... Asus PC-DL Deluxe Asus PR-DLSW Intel SE7505VB2 Supermicro X5DA8 Supermicro P4DP6-Q Supermicro P4DC6+ Supermicro X5DAL-G
For AMD CPUs... GigaByte GA-7DPXDW-P MSI K7D Master MPX
Any other recommendations would be appreciated.
I want a motherboard that Suse 8.2 will recognize ALL onboard components like USB, LAN, SCSI, IDE, AUDIO, ect., and I will most likely use an external AGP card, hence it needs an AGP 4x or 8x slot. I prefer integrated SCSI but that's not manditory.
Thanks for any help, Jack A.
