$130 SAPPHIRE ATI RADEON 9600 256MB 8X AGP
But sarge has xfree 4.2 and 4.3 is needed for readeon
$210 AMD ATHLON XP 3000 "Barton" 400MHz FSB OEM
What is needed for an OEM
Suggestions on a Fan? What is "grease"?
It would be a waste to get the kt600 and not get
a cpu that can do fsb400
???? How large of a power supply?
???? 2 x 200GB WD harddrives
$220 2 x KINGSTON KVR400X64C25/512 512MB 400MHz
The board max's at 1 gig :(Is the ethernet only Gigabit? My network is all 10/100.
The plan was to boot and install the minimum from woody then upgrade to sarge and get kernel 2.4.22 (newest as of 11/9/2003)
Any thoughts, input, advise, suggestions?
Thanks so much!

Hi
I'm using this mobo with linux just fine. the network chipset works with the syskonnect driver...depending on the kernel version you may have to update it with the patch from http://www.syskonnect.com/syskonnect/support/driver/htm/sk98lin.htm to support the card though...
with the sata drivers you seem to have 2 options for debian: one hack for the default ide driver and a patch for libata to support it through scsi emulation (this seems to be better ...it is included in 2.6.0-test9 so it seems to be better for the future) patch for 2.4: http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/8/29/105
both seem to work from report from others..and they load fine, but I don't have SATA drives to test with...but be aware: no raid...only linux software raid...
USB(also USB2) works fine
agpgart works fine (I only can test agp 4x since I only own a GF4 and with linux 2.4 agp 8x is not supported anyway from what I gather)....
I have not tested sound since I use a SB Audigy...
One last thing: the ide controller is supported after 2.4.21 I think...before it is only pio mode...
I hope I have not forgot anything usefull...
yours, Albert Dengg

sound. I would appreciate hearing about any issues people have
encountered.
Thanks for any advice. I would like to be prepared before burying my head in the sand...
