Re: Need Motherboard input for evaluation with Debian Woody
Once in debian galaxy, I heard John Foster say
> 3. Asus CUV4X-D dual P-III 1.13 Ghz CPU
> 4. MSI 694D Pro2 dual P-III 1.13 Ghz CPU
For this part I had abit VP6 which has very similar configuration. My
cpus are PII933 stepping cc0.
This board has never anything else besides debian. I pull my old hardisk
from an old PPRO box, put it in, turn the new box on. It works straight
away. From then, I recompile smp kernel and everything is set :).
I had only 512M ram though. Abit claims that this board support up to 2G
PC133 SDRAM.
I still have some troubles getting nvidia driver working stably instead
of nv driver for my Geforce2 MX200.
Otherwise, everything is working very fine, including firewire camera on
pci firewire card.

I'd prefer dual cpu set up for my task which I think I can get benefit
from the 2nd cpu more than from faster processor.
check out www.2cpu.com and www.vp6-board for more info.
