Hi, List. My recent postings about the terrible problems I'm having trying to get a Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 motherboard working with SuSE 9.3 have generated only 1 reply to the list. So I'll take a different approach and ask you for specific recommendations (manufacturer and model) of a motherboard that fits the following specifications: Requirements: 1) Accepts AMD 64-FX socket 939 or 940 processor 2) Upgradable to dual-core 3) PCI-e slot (video card) 4) Will accept DDR266 (PC2100) memory (and is upgradable to PC3200) 5) 4 memory slots (4 X 1GB capability) 6) At least 3 PCI expansion slots 7) on-board ethernet 8) on-board sound (5.1 would be nice!) 9) on-board USB 10) on-board firewire (expansion card is OK) I am going to have to exchange this Gigabyte board but my time to do so is limited, so I'd really appreciate your feedback very soon. Many thanks on behalf of my wife who desperately wants her pooter back. Gil
