Hi all,
I am wondering what motherboards users are using on there Linux box? I had a Asus m4a79t deluxe but in corroded under 2 years and failed. Asus blames the customer oxidation and will not give warranty even though it has 3 years warranty. Strange how a old p5 Intel machine beside it is perfectly fine. Asus warranty not worth the paper its written on. Have a Asus crosshair V formula that spent more times being repaired than been used. It still comes up with eprom errors on boot and runs like a dog and Asus will not give money back as they say they do not support Linux. So we have proved that this brand is crap, what else is there?
Am looking at the Gigabyte ga-990fxa-d3, does this board play well with Linux as looking at putting it in what was the m4a79t box.
Thanks Gary.
Was using a Gigabyte (can't remember the model number) with NVidia chipset until the Northbridge chip overheated and died. Now runnign an ASRock P67 Extreme 4 and it works very well. The price was right and I'm very happy with it. In general stick with Intel or NVidia chipsets as they seem to be best supported and optimised. -- ========================================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au ========================================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
