I'd like that myself. That HOWTO is not up to date. I have had an Abit KT7A mobo for the last 3 years and I am planning a mobo upgrade and will go with Abit again. Abit is not in that HOWTO.
I stand to be corrected but getting a mobo is a hit and miss proposition: first you google for problems with Linux, if you don't find them, go!
First of all, I would get an Abit KV7 now. For these reasons:- I want to get a faster processor than the 850MHz Athlon I have now. So this supports the XP 2700+ of 2.17 GHz, almost 3x faster. - But I want a minimum of integrated hardware, this only has sound and lan, which the KT7A did not have.
- I'll have to buy DDR memory, expensive. - I'll stick with Abit. Now those are not very exact reasons. What are your reasons for picking the ASUS P5P800?I note that it is for an Intel CPU and costs almost twice more than the KV7. I guess I go with AMD because of the trackrecord.
