hi all,
i am about to buy a new motherboard (and cpu), and i was thinking to go for
the dual core technology. Is there anything I should be aware of as far as
compatibility is concerned? Is there any chipset or other feature that is
still not supported by linux?

If there are no heatpipes from the northbridge going anywhere don't buy
the board.
The northbridge would run very very hot.
