Hi, I have setup my new system with the following: MB: Tyan Tiger 2668 CPU: 2 x XEON 2,8 Ghz MEM: 4 x 512Mb Video: ATI 9200 VIVO AGP 8x 128Mb HD: 2 x 36 Gb Ultra 160 OS: SuSE 8.2 It runs smooth. All components are running perfect. Few pb with ATI driver, but with the last realease 3.2.5, it works very well. Bye Yvon Jack Alderson wrote:
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?
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.
