hi ya
using pc-100 memory wont work as nicely as a real PC-2100 or PC-2700 ddr
ram
besides... there may not be any slot for pc-100/pc-133
some of the mb uses nvidia for its nic/video drivers that you d/l from
nvidia directly
- lmsensor support is shaky at best .. you'd need to calibrate it
with that motherboard to be 100% sure...
eg -51C is what i see from lmsensors on the P4S333
but bios says +45C
- played with lots o mb ... amd and p4's
- some mb boards that are known to work w/ some variation of linux
http://www.linux-1u.net/1U_Features
( onboard NIC, onboard svga, onboard sound
- sound... assuming that it works .. works good/bad with various
players.. different quality
*.ra, *.mid, *.mpg, *.wav, ...
