My fedora box at home has gone through 4 motherboards with 4 different processors in several combinations: Asus CUX-AM Celleron 633 MSI MS-6568 AMD Duron 600 FIC AT31 AMD Athlon 700 FIC AT31 AMD Athlon XP 1800+ Syntax SV266AD AMD Athlon XP 1800+ I have not had to do any reinstalls of Fedora Core 1 thoughout all of these combinations. By the way, the Syntax board seems to work best with Core 1. All hardware including sound was autodetected and worked first time.
