Description:
|
This is an Asus motherboard for AMD processors up to 3200XP+.
400 FSB, up to 3 gig Ram.
Onboard Sound, supported with the snd-intel8x0 alsa module. (2.6.x)
Onboard lan, supported by forcedeth kernel module. (2.6.x)
nforce2 IDE chipset is supported in 2.6.x kernel as well.
IDE 133 capable, no SATA.
AGP chipset is also supported in the kernel, with the specific nforce agp module.
All in all, a great board, many bios options, plenty of tweakability for overclocking both the CPU and GPU.
Moderately priced, I paid 79.00 US at a local retailer.

The kernel provides all compatability needed, but nvidia's drivers support only kernel 2.4.20. Bummer, but hey -- open source has solved the problem;)
I have no problems whatsoever with this board, so far.
I use it with an ATI Radeon 9000 Pro, and an AMD Athlon 2200XP+
Great value for the price -- leaves me plenty of room to upgrade the processor, ram, and agp card, It supports 8x agp.

This has been a good motherboard, but I have random fatal kernel crashes because the interrupt handler could not stay in sync. I suspect the problem is the IRQ assignments from the BIOS/MB, but it's (so far) impossible to know for sure.

2.6.x kernel works great, sound, ethernet (forcedeth), and agp chipsets are all supported.
I am running this with an Athlon XP 2600+, 512 MB DDR333 RAM, and a 128 MB FX-5200 AGP graphics card. Very Stable, Good Performance. BTW, the Nvidia drivers for my graphics card work fine with kernel 2.6.7.

I'm still using rh9 and a kernel of the 2.4 series (2.4.27).
For this kernel are best nforce and nforce2 compatibility than before, but the i2c support for sensors its still poor because it still in version 2.6.1 and the minimun version for supporting nforce sensors is 2.8.0. So i had to patch it and i have achieved to install lm_sensors and start sensing temperatures and fan speeds :D. But have been some headache.
For the rest all works fine.

lm-sensors never worked for me in 2.4
lan, usb, and sound worked fine in 2.4. and 2.6.8
There was a screen hard lock issue where only the mouse pointer would move. This was never isolated to the mobo though and I haven't had this issue in awhile.
Get the nvidia drivers working for this board and you will be rewarded.

Works great, had trouble having it working until i ran:
apt-get install discovery
Then it pretty much set it up automatically. Using nForce drivers from nvidia.
