Since I am please with my current ASUS based system, I thought I'd go for
them again.

I've decided to be agnostic about CPU manufacturer, and just look at
practicalities.


I set up the Newsgroup entry to comp.os.linux.hardware instead of
Asus-specific, since the topic should be of some interest to Linux uses.
Asus boards are a poor choice for Linux because of the company's policy to
provide broken BIOS (ACPI/DSDT part, in particular). The A8N boards, in
particular, have been documented to have this bug. MSI is a much better
choice for motherboards at this time.


Mnohkaay..

MSI has this board as non-ECC memory only (as does Crucial's advisor :-) ).
Do you know of a reasonable Dual-Core motherboard which handles ECC and is
not too badly broken?

Best Regards

Jens
