Proably the wrong forum, but trying to build a new Debian imap server. After spending a few hours the last few days researching motherboards I went to the local stop to pick up an Asus P4B-533-E (which they said they had on the phone). Of course, they were out and said it was no longer available. The ASUS site doesn't show that.
Not being a hardware buff, can any one help with what boards or chipsets? It's easy to eat hours reading about boards and chipsets only to find out the info is outdated, or problems reported no longer apply. So perhaps someone more familiar with hardware can help direct me. I'll be installing with a 2.4.18 or 2.4.20 kernel. I'll be using a P4 2.4 533 FSB CPU. Not too long ago I saw reports of problems with the Intel 850 chipsets. Still an issue, (if it ever was)? There there seems to be a number of 845 chip sets, but I see a number of different ones: 845E 845G 845GE 845GL 845GV 845PE Seems to effect what memory to use (pc2100 or pc2700) but I'm not sure how it might effect a Debian install. I'm looking for a basic board with NIC/video/LAN onboard. -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
