Description:
|
This board works directly from install of Mandrake 10 Community (security updated to current as of today Sept 17, 2004, but NOT at 10.1 yet). I was online with the CSA NIC shortly after install, though ZeroConf did NOT set up a valid netowrk connect by itself due to the fact that I am behind a secured router and had to set an oddball mask and the LAN IP for the router as that is how the router is configured. Thereafter, the EMBEDDED CSA worked fine. CPU is a Northwood at 3.2 GHz with Corsair RAM at DDR400 rates. Yes, CPU and RAM are indeed OC'd AND STABLE and Mandrake also is. I cannot guarantee this board with any other distro, and due to the RAM amount I ended up using the Mandrake precompiled i686 4 GB kernel also. Had I taken one of my sticks out I would have been able to run the stock kernel, and indeed tried that and Mandrake ran fine. Audio and the Linux NVIDIA packs work. Onboard audio works. Have NOT used SATA or Firewire, both found and configured without log errors though so might well be able to. Note, this board is at LATEST BIOS level available from Abit for this board, afaik this is 15 but am not gonna reboot box in mid entry to check.
I DID have issues with SuSE with this board, but they had to do with printing and RAM over 1 GB hanging the install.

Works without hitch.
SATA works well (need kernel options for this), haven't tried firewire, USB works well, the onboard 1000mbit ethernet works well (in 100 mode, I don't have but a 100mbit router), everything just plain works.
It's an awesome board and should be great for overclocking. Sadly, it is discontinued.
