Interesting to note, thanks. I have a similar system, though not 64x2. AMD64 4000 Gigabyte GA-K8NSC-939 Nvidia Geforce 5500fx Suse 10 64 retail I was wondering wether the ticks is a timing issue with the pci express bus, or who was using a pci-x card. I went with this board to try to reuse some old parts (memory and video), only upgraded due to old case heat issues and CHEAP price on processor.

Hello All,
Is anybody using this new cpu with Suse or any other flavor of linux? No but I wish I could! :-)

Typing this mail on one now.

Tips: 1. Don't bother with Gnome, it doesn't work 2. There is an issue with the timing of the CPUs, you should add "notsc" - without the quotation marks, to the boot command line (If you don't do this you see "many lost ticks" in the kernel message log.) 3. There seems to be a problem with the Marvell onboard NIC - disable it and use the CK804 chipset. 4. Do install the nvidia network driver (forcedeth, seems to have issues?)
So in summary:
Sound is working, 3D graphics (tick), SATA drive worked straight off, network a bit fiddly, timing issue sorted (don't understand it, but the solution above seems to work), VMware (Wks 5) seems to work OK (with the vmware-any-any-94) patches
Remaining issues: NFS seems a bit flakey
Best wishes,
Jon.
