All the onbaord hardware, even the NIC's just work (with 2.4.20 anyways). AGP 8x support still isnt there, but that is okay since I don't have any 8x cards. One thing to watch out for on the kt400 boards is that AGP 8x slots aren't backward compatible with 1x/2x cards.(At least the 7vrxp isn't) --Brian On Thursday 06 February 2003 08:38 am, McClain wrote: > Hello ppl, > > I recently bought a new computer with a Asus A7N8x > mainboard(nForce2 chipset).
