Subject: The New Hardware
Well I built my new workstation last weekend.
ASUS A7V w/AMD Athlon 900Mhz (Thunderbird ?)
256meg PC133 Ram & ATI Rage 2000 AGP 32meg video
IBM EIDE 46gig HD
Adaptec 2940UW & Plextor 40X UW SCSI cd-rom
SB Live PCI sound card
<p>I loaded SuSE 7.0 Professional up and used YaST2 which worked fine
except :
1. The SB Live was picked up and identified correctly by YaST2 in the
install,
but would not load the module ? It's in slot 5 on the MB and works fine in
MS 98.
2. The 3C905-TX was picked up and identified correctly by YaST2 in the
install,
but would not load the module ? It's in slot 4 on the MB and works fine in
MS 98.
<p>Other than no LAN connection and sound, this is a very nice system and
performs
much better (faster, etc.), than my older AMD K2-450Mhz 3D-Now system.
Thanks to all who recommended the hardware.
I would like to know if anyone is using the A7V with Athlon and how they got
the NIC working ...I need to get my LAN connection up.
Best Regards
