Subject: Fedora Core 3 Motherboard Recommendations

 

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 Meyer
