Hello all ,

I'm going to buy myself a new pc , with a nice core 2 duo processor and a P5N-E SLI motherboard.
I've chosen for this motherboard because of it's nice price/quality. And as bonus , that nforce 650i SLI
chipset it has got seems to be a very nice overklocker

. So this motherboard is the best for me.

Then the following thing i did was searching about the linux compability of this motherboard (and specific) it's chipset ,
but i really haven't found something usefull on the ineternet about it , neither on this forum.

So my question is : Will this motherboard with this nforce 650i SLI chipset work with the linux 2.6.20 kernel without problems ?

Thanks in advance

.

hi,

I've read on some german blogs & ubuntu forums that

linux from time to time just hangs due to irq load balancing problems with pci device & network card

so if you don't need an uptime above 24 hours perhaps it will run stable :roll:

you should do some more research on this board before buying, ...
