Question: is linux support Intel's i840 chipset?

[Jean-Michel Lee]

Hi,

I just want to search a mainboard with 64-bit PCI bus and ATA-100 support. I just find that Intel i840 do. So, I wonder whether linux support Intel's i840.

Thanks.

Michel

I believe that Linux 2.2.x and 2.4.x do support it well, however I tried
using it with Linux 2.0.x and it caused me many problems with PCI drivers. I
also tried server-works chipset, which also works with 64-bit PCI bus, it
worked well under Linux 2.0.x no problems what so ever.
Any way since the 840 chipset is known to be buggy, I suggest you use
server-works.

Thanks a lot.

A fool question: since IDE controller is a PCI device, and the PCI is 32bit/33MHz - 132MB/s or so. How does two ATA-100 device work, it will use 2 x 100MB/s bandwidth.

I know most IDE controller is in the Sound Bridge, but I can buy an IDE expand card, which support ATA-100 too.
