>From personal experience with that particular board, I highly recommend spending a few extra dollars and purchase a different motherboard, sound and video card. The PC100 boards use the SiS5xx series chipset, with SiS530 video and a more or less generic sound codec. These boards are difficult to set up under Windows, I haven't been able to fathom the setup of Linux on the machine. The computer shop I currently work for carried these boards for a _very_ short while (about 3 boards) and only because of the demand for a low-cost all-in-one solution. We currently will not even supply special requests for the PC100 boards because of the troubles we had with the first 3, all issues were confirmed with other system builders in the area, so it was not just a bad production run.
Again, I hold absolutely no reservation in recommending that you don't purchase this particular board. You will save some money with this board, but the money saved will not be worth the setup fun you will have. just my $0.02.

I am about to buy a PC100 Systemboard M598MR mainboard with a super socket 7 wich cames with an AMD K6-III processor. This board have built-in sound (about which the manual says "meets PC98 audio specification, full-duplex playback and recording with built-in 16-bit CODEC, and blah blah blah), built-in graphics system (AGP Graphics Accelerator= AGP ver.1 with 66/133 MHz) and a built-in FAX/Modem 56k6 DAA V.90, V.34, blah blah blah. I **need** to know if this board is compatible with 2.2.x linux kernel series (I use potato) and if I will be able to set all this built-in stuff up (without coding, of course ;D )?????
