I'm running a nforce2 mobo (MSI K7N2, dual boot linux/ win xp), and it works just fine. There was a bit of a problem during the install with the onboard network card, whose drivers were not available. I just downloaded the drivers separately from Nvidia's website, and installed them. Of course, this was a red hat box (my Gentoo box has an Intel network card), so I could set the network up after completing the install off CD. You may have to do it differently for Gentoo. I've had this board for around 6 months now, and it rocks. HTH, Krishnan -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
