All; I am just setting out to build a couple of boxes. One will be based on the Athlon 64. My question is: What mobo(s) are preferred with Suse Linux?
Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

I always hate to answer these questions because it seems someone smarter, wiser, more experienced then rebutts with all the things I have not seen or found. With that disclaimer:
I like your disclaimer, so I'll use it too! Mine is a gigabyte K8 Triton Series. GA-K8NS Pro with nForce3 250 chipset and AMD64 3000+ with SuSE 9.2. IDE1 has an older 20 gig hd with windows installed as hda and a zip 100 as hdb. both work fine (although I fought the zip for a while) IDE2 has a dvd recorder as hdc and a cd reader as hdd. Both work. Even burned a dvd. IDE3 and 4 with built in gigaRaid IT8212 is disabled, unused, and untested by me. 2 SATA nForce3 250 with only one drive as sda 2 SATA Sil3512 unused, and untested by me. SATA raid (both nForce and Sil (disabled) are unused) Built -in Marvell 8001 On-Board (10/100/1000 Mbit) works Two issues. First I had to do a bios upgrade. Second I had to install and run with acpi turned off. Been a good solid install so far. Doug
