Subject: Motherboard upgrade and SuSE7
Hello all,
Well, I now have most of my Sush in place and very functional, just some
minor tweaking left. ... Of course, now I plan to upgrade my motherboard
and processor, just to give me a headache. So, I need some advice, as
there are two ways to go.
1. A nice Asus A7V Socket with the 1gig Thunderbird chip.
2. Stay with Intel and a Pentium III with a nice Asus dual processor, say
700 or 800. Of course, if I go 800 or greater, I will have to change my
SDram to 133s instead of current 100s..
I am currently running a PII 400 on a BX chipset.
Question is will SuSE operate okay with the T-bird AMD? Do I have to
recompile or reinstall SuSE with either board? My plan was just to
install the new board and processor, load up my APG and PCI cards, slap in
the IDE HDs, etc, and be off and running .... or am I missing something
here with respect to SuSE picking up new controllers, etc...
Anybody been there, done that ? Appreciate your thoughts.
<p>
