Slightly off topic ... but I couldn't think of a better place to ask, or
at least not one with more knowledgable people on the subject.
I'm looking to upgrade my Motherboard.
So I'm wondering which Athlon/XP motherboard you guys would use? I know
there were (or are?) problems with some of the VIA chipsets and most of
the Athlon MoBos seem to use some VIA chipset.
Anyway. Suggestions welcome.
Thanks,
EAM

The Athlon XP/MP SMP issues (as well as the VIA chipset issues) are becoming
quite FAQs. It strikes me a kept-up-to-date site listing current issues that
are known/being fixed/hardware bugs/whatever would be useful. I would be
prepared to have a go if some maintainers (/knowledgeable kernel hackers) could
give me some info, but I'm certainly not a kernel guru and would not be able to
handle troubleshooting mail from all Linux's AMD users :).
I could quite easily hack together something in PHP for listing known
working/known broken configurations (proc/mobo/?), I guess.
Thoughts/suggestions?
Joe.
