Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI and Mandriva Powerpack 10

[cpuone 0]

Hi Guys

First post in this forum.

 

I finally convinced someone to give Linux a try. Most are too happy with Windows to even think of anything else.

 

He was very impressed with Mandrake Move and the fact I could go online with it.

So he has given me the go ahead to build him a sturdy machine (I also suggested Raid 0+1 ;->)

 

 

To the point

 

I have been lookin at the GA-K8NXP-SLI

it seems just fine for my needs. I plan to couple this with an ATI X600 All in Wonder as he wants to do video editing as well.

 

This board is skt 939 so I have opted for a 3200 winchester.

 

 

The Gigabyte website have no linux drivers but nvidia do on their driver page.

Will this do.

 

Anyone tried linux with raid 0+1 on this board?

 

Any happy stories? Has anyone dual booted (XP + Mandrke) with raid 0 + 1

 

A lotta Qs I know but any halp will be fine

Thanx
