The phone # in the book they told me to call this #, and then they told me no its not ours. So called the # in the book agin, and they told me to try different # and agin sorry not ours. Then finly I got the make of the board but the website of the maufaturer is not mozzila compatible all the drop down links are going under the flash. I was able to call them and I get the all famos sorry we do not support linux.

Well my best friend has a ASUS board and wow this is a nice board so I called them. the hold time wasent bad. I pressed 0 for the opperator and told her I was looking into buying a new board and needed info. Got a sales rep. told him I run linux and do you support it. He said "Yes we do. would you like the linux department, to recomend a board for you." wow . :eek:

I have just upgraded to a gigabyte 7s748L mobo with an AMD processor (Semprom 2800+) and am quite satisified with it. The 748L is a socket A so it will take quite a variety of AMD processors and it is quite cheap. It does NOT have onboard video, but it does have onboard sound which is what I was looking for. You can check it out on the gigabyte site.

The socket A has just about been developed as far as it will be so if you are looking for something to upgrade to a 64 bit processor, you should think about something else. But for the money, my opinion is that it's hard to beat the price on one of these combos.

It was also a breeze to install FC2 on this system...no problems at all...so far ;)

Good luck.
