I
am looking for some recommendations for a stable and reliable motherboard for
building five Fedora Core 3 systems. My top
concerns are: Motherboard: o
Reliability of the main
motherboard. o
Chipset Support (i.e Easy
Installation) from the kernel. o
Price is some what important but
not the deciding factor (no more than $140.00) o
Nice to have features would be
dual-lan on board. o
I have no CPU preference, so it
could be AMD or Intel solution. (CPU
Speed is not important) o
Chipset/Performance vs Price. (I would
prefer a newer chipset if it doesn’t break the $140.00 mark) Network
Cards: o
If the motherboard doesn’t
have on-board Lan (I need
two Ethernet connections in each system) Then what is a good and stable NIC
card? A typical
system once built will contain: o
200GB Hard Drive o
DVD R/W o
512 Megs of RAM o
2 Ethernet Connections (Giga-Lan Optional) o
ATX Case (Mini or Mid Tower) o
Good Power Supply (Probably an Enermax..) Of
course I have searched the NET for MFTB numbers from Manufactures, but haven’t
really come up with anything solid yet.
Some of the Manufacturers I have looked at include ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte,
and DFI. I’m open to others as
well. Thanks Rick
