Well, my box is getting pretty old, and I'd like a faster compile time of openoffice, so I am in the process of building a new machine.
I want to make sure my assumptions on this build are correct before I dump money on hardware that is unlikely to be supported. I am planning on building either an intel xeon based machine or amd Opteron/Phenom based machine as long as I can avoid any nvidia parts. Since this is a workstation, I would like 3D acceleration, so I should stick with ATI video cards, right? Here are some motherboards I am looking at: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131378 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128384 I am currently running an old Tyan board with a AMD64 CPU. It's worked well, but I'm afraid if I buy the upgraded version of this board that it will not be supported. The newer version uses Nvidia chipsets, which is this board: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813151062 Any suggestions? I don't want to build a machine that is unlikely to be supported. Thanks, Brian
