Few questions about nForce4 (NON-SLI) Has anyone tried the Abit or Gigabyte boards? Everyone talks about the Asus a8n but I really dont want SLI.


Are there still issues with the nForce4 USB not recognizing devices? Would anyone that has used nForce4 say that its still too immature to use w/ linux?

Have you used this w/ a PCI-E nVidia card w/ OpenGL?

Can anyone tell me what does / does NOT work with the 2.6.11 (or current) kernel. Does the kernel have nForce4 support as a module / compile in option? (i'll look into this too)


Thanks.

I have a "DFI Lanparty UT nF4 ULTRA-D" based on the nforce4 ultra chipset. Suse 9.2 recognized every thing but the sata which I manually added while installing. USB, no issues. I think its 2.6.8 kernel (not at home to double check). As far as video I have a 6800gt pci-express which is handled with out issue also (nvidia's driver).

Does the DFI Lanparty UT nF4 ULTRA-D use nVidia for its USB? (silly Q im sure, but I have seen some boards with different controllers)

I believe so I don't see any thing in the manual or on the board to indicate otherwise. And one correction from above Suse doesn't like the one ethernet port (upper one) but does like the other.

Thanks for your help

Im going to get the latest kernel today and see wha type of nForce4 support is built in.
