I am considering buying a XPC SN25P system. This will have an athlon64 CPU in it with an nforce4 motherboard. Does anyone out there have experience with a configuration similar to this? If so, has it been difficult to run Fedora on it? I am mostly concerned with the nforce4 motherboard and it's onboard features. How good are nvidia's drivers, and is it difficult to get the to work? I've never had trouble with their linux video drivers, but I have had no experience with their nforce drivers.

Thanks ahead of time!

They dont have linux drivers yet for nforce4 but I heard some people are using them with no problem.

Good to know. How have the nforce3 boards and drivers done in the past? Do they typically work with no issue?

I'm writing this on an SN25P running FC4. The only problem is sound isn't working right now. I've bumped this (http://forums.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=75270) thread looking for help on it.
