I have had good luck with ASUS boards, the Intel chipset, and either the provided graphics or ATI (I don't like the binary nVidia drivers). I am just ordering one this weekend, and I'm going with the cheap PentiumD 930 CPU because the quad core units will be out in the spring, and I can go with that without tying up money in a fast CPU now. The Core2Duo is faster than AMD (today), has the hardware VM support, has 64 bit. And most of my clients are running Intel, which is some consideration regarding support expertise. -- Bill Davidsen Obscure bug of 2004: BASH BUFFER OVERFLOW - if bash is being run by a normal user and is setuid root, with the "vi" line edit mode selected, and the character set is "big5," an off-by-one errors occurs during wildcard (glob) expansion. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
