I would expect ANY CPU to work from Intel or AMD. As for motherboard, most of those work too. The gotchas are: - The newest Ethernet and wifi chipsets from Broadcom, including rebranded ones from Dell. These usually work 6 months after release. - Very recent nVidia graphics hardware. nVidia is generally slow to catch up with changes in the X server and newer kernels, and their drivers are closed-source. If it's Intel (CPU, video, or Ethernet), it'll just work. Regards, Tyler -- "When a claim is falsified in science [...], it is discarded. It is put in the trashbin of bad ideas.
