Hi List,
Thinking of buying it, so trying to do my homework, googling.
Found one link saying the mobo(NVIDIA 6100 nForce 405) is fully Linux
conpatible but:
Several links indicated there is problems getting audio and NIC card
working correctly. NIC is Marvel Yukon 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabyte Ethernet
controller which google didn't hit. Audio is Realtec HD audio also no
info found. Anyone with this system have any luck getting NIC and Audio
to work? Any comments/info appreciated.
Also found links about poor video quality for the onboard NVIDIA nForce
405 video. Is there an updated Feisty driver that fixes the poor video?
Also found links about it being a hybred audio between Creative and some
other sound card, don't remember what. Does anyone know if this issue
has been resolved concerning the proper driver. The onboard video is
supposed to be 256MB shared memory but found links saying only 64 MB is
shared?
My best hope is for someone running this system to tell me everything is
working under Ubuntu so I can buy it tomorrow or Saturday at latest
before the Best Buy sale expiress. The price is right! However, any and
all feedback is welcomed, good or bad. It' time for an upgrade here;
looking for significant speed improvements over my PIII, 450 Mhtz
machine, circa 2000.
Thanks for your input,

You can probably get it to work, but the newer the hardware the more problems you will run into, because som drivers may be missing in the kernel, at this time.
I have just bought at brand new HP DV 9540 laptop, and am constantly having problems (problems with the video card (black screen), difficulty to get my webcam work, problems with wireless).
All my older hardware (3 to 4 years old) computers work without much problems.
So buy it, but be prepared, and use this list? :-)


Thanks, the list will be used. IWCTW, I could use the NIC and Sound Card from the old HP Pavilion 8370 I'm replacing(circa 1997) but the video is a concern. The urge for speed is getting to me, so I'll prob buy.
Thanks again, begin:vcard
