I have to upgrade my 700Mhz PIII to run my wifes new graphical adventure
game :-)
(dual boot windows 2000 + Gentoo).
Being financially challenged I have narrowed it down to a bargain
package of ...
A Biostar M7NCD Socket A Motherboard w/the nVidia nForce2 400/MCP
chipset + Athlon XP3000+ 333FSB ...

http://www.maplin.co.uk/products/module.asp?CartID=040904110845671&moduleno=-987
However something is nagging at me that there are problems with nVidia
chipsets with Linux ? something about DMA problems with the north /
south bridges ?
Is there still a problem with the 2.6 kernel, has anyone had experience
of this motherboard ?
Cheers
Dave
