I use the Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 mainboard with the 3000+ CPU. Everything works on the mainboard. The on-board NIC works with the forcedeth driver, and I got on-board sound working by following the advice of the good people on this list and upgrading the kernel to 2.6.10. I can highly recommend this mainboard. > I'd be very interested in recommendations from people who have used > systems with these boards reagrding topics such as stability and ease > of use/hardware compatibility with Linux.

See above - everything works on the board. Regards, Ozz. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
