If you were asked by someone to build two linux workstations where one had to be pentium 4 based and the other athlon based, what two motherboards would you use?
For the pentium 4, I was considering the Abit TH7II-Raid (i850 chipset). I am not for certain if there are any known issues with mandrake 8.1 and the i850 chipset. From what I have read I think it will run fine. For the Athlon, I am unsure which board to use. Which board does not have any known problems? I know some VIA chipsets have known problems. If these problems have been addressed with the newest Mandrake release then great, if not I would like to know which board to use and which to stay away from. I would like to be able to run the harddrives at the desired speeds of ATA/66 or ATA/100 without any data corruption resulting from VIA bugs. I would also like a board with more than two DIMM slots. Any input would be appreciated as I would like to order the hardware as soon as possible. Thanks.
