[lug] good amd motherboards for linux RH 71.

[Timothy C. Klein]

I have an Abit KT7-Raid.  Very nice board, no Linux problems at all.  It
does not support DDR SDram or teh 266 Mhz FSB of the new Athlons, as it
is a bit older.  I have never actually used the UDMA 100 features, as it
resides on the 2 extra raid IDE channels, and I am not using those right
now.  I also have a Soyo something or other for the older Athlons (the
Thunderbird, like the Abit).  I don't remember the model, as I bought it
in a hurry at Compusa when another motherboard died.  It also works
fine, but I don't remember what it is, so taht is no help.  And lastly,
I have an AMD 750 board, that runs the Athlon classic.  It as always
been slightly flakey, but not too bad.  But you can't buy that board or
processor any more, I suspect, unless you buy them used.

I had never heard about this Duron issue.  I only have Athlons.  When I
have built machines, I didn't think Durons were enough cheaper than the
Athlon to warrant the loss of cache.  They seemed to be pretty close in
price, when I was looking.
