Hi Jerry, For me the most important is network support because I would be really annoyed with an unsupported NIC. It already happened and hopefully I could use Wifi as it was on a laptop... so the 3 criteria are : - NIC support - SATA controller support - USB2/PS2 support
I'm in process of refurbishing an old Ultra 20 as well and I'm collecting hardware as I see some good oportunities on second hand stuff, the motherboard I found is an ASRock Z97 Extreme4 which seems to fit my bill, I don't really know about the support for Realtek ALC1150 sound chipset tho. Ben. ----- Mail original ----- De: "Jerry Kemp" <[email protected]> À: "Discussion list for OpenIndiana" <[email protected]> Envoyé: Jeudi 14 Mai 2015 07:12:43 Objet: [OpenIndiana-discuss] fishing for suggestions for new motherboard I'm long overdue to build out a new x86/x64 system to run (primarily) OpenIndiana on, and I looking for comments and suggestions from others who have recently done the same. I have already reviewed our HCL here: http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Motherboards But I fear it is dated, as the last update was almost a year ago. I'm planning to run an Intel CPU due to some issues with another OS, and I need it to handle at least 32 Gb of ram. This is for me at $HOME, but I run a lot of zones + virtualization via VirtualBox. Size - I own a small collection of old Sun Ultra 20 cases that I like to use, so I am looking for an ATX sized board. If it matters, I typically always run an NVIDIA frame buffer as they seem to be the path of least resistance and always have nice *Solaris drivers. Thanks for any comments, Jerry _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
