Sorry to bother you kernel hackers. I have a simple question.
I am about to buy a new AMD Athlon system and I want to make sure I get the hardware that works best with Linux. I am wondering whether I should get a nForce 2 or KT600 based motherboard. Specifically, I am looking at
Asus A7N8X-X http://usa.asus.com/products/mb/socketa/a7n8x-x/overview.htm nForce 2 Realtek ALC650 sound card Realtek 8201BL network card
and
Gigabyte GA-7VT600-P-L http://www.giga-byte.com/MotherBoard/Products/Products_GA-7VT600-P-L.htm Northbridge : VIA KT600 Southbridge : VIA VT8237 Realtek ALC655 AC97 sound card Realtek 8101L NIC
My primary requiremnet is that it must work well with Linux. I can handle downloading & installing drivers. If it works out of the box (without downloading binary drivers) that's even better. I am also planning to get GeForce FX graphics card, if it makes a difference. So which board is more compatibile?
thanks in advance,
Eugene
