Description:
|
This MoBo works quite well under my Fedora Core 2 for 3 months now, and it's working perfectly just with the 2.6.7 Kernel modules. Sound, network, usb, DMA, ... no problem.
Besides, it's very good overclockable, I've been running it with a Athlon 2400+ (2000Mhz) at ~2400Mhz for some time now. I think, the weakest part is yet the processor, and not the Mainboard.

The only issue that I have had is that the onboard sound sucks (crackles, hiss .....) of course it did the same thing with Winblows XP, so I think it is hardware issue. Slack had no problems identifing onboard lan, chipset, usb ...ect.

My onboard sound works very well. It's sound is actually better than the one of my old Ensoniq 5880 sound card.
No difference between Windows 2000 and Linux.

I put together a machine with this board over the weekend and loaded Fedora Core 3. It started up without a hitch, and everything is working with no extra diddling. I think that is a first for me!
Prior to installation, my only concern regarding the board was that Nvidia motherboard drivers would be necessary (NForce2 chipset) to get some of the hardware working right. So far this is the best motherboard I have used for a linux machine (that means best of 4), and the price is right. If I discover any problems down stream, I will provide an update.
Concerning the hardware installation process, the Shuttle manual gives (generic) instructions for building the whole computer in addition to the usual motherboard installation and set up instructions. It wasn't too deep, but it was a nice touch. Installing the board was a piece of cake. A few weeks ago I set up an ASUS A7N8X, and installing the heatsink on the CPU was a nightmare. I put the same CPU/heatsink on the Shuttle board painlessly without any problems concerning fat fingers. There are few jumpers to worry about. The connectors and headers are all accessible, and with a little forethought the cables all go on easily. I did change some setting in the BIOS. I am not overclocking, but the motherboard allows for it.
If you are replacing a motherboard or building a system from spare parts, keep in mind that this board requires a power supply with the extra 12V cable and 4 pin connector. Look for a supply that meets the ATX12V standard but still has the separate 12V cable (version 1.3 or earlier). If you get a supply for version 2.0, you may need an adapter between the supply and the motherboard.
Did I say the price was right?
