Motherboard Mayhem

Recommended Posts

I want to build a new computer with Mandriva or SuSe Linux installed but I get the feeling that no 775 motherboard in the marketplace is supported.

So I think to myself what is the best bet for Linux?

So then I think go with intel chipset P965+ICH8R and motherboard Foxconn P9657AA-8EKRS2H. Why becuse the Mandriva, SuSe compatability lists are full of intel chipsets and the P965 has an improved memory contoller.

So then I read a review of the P4N-Sli with nForce4 chipset which works flawlessly under gentoo linux and I think.

P4N is good

But how do I know it works with SuSe/Mandriva distro's?

There are no Nforce chipsets in the compatibility lists of SuSe/Mandriva this may not be a good bet.

But don't worry I can download a driver for the chip set from Nvidia

But how do I install such a driver?

Does anybody have any ideas?
