If I had to purchase a motherboard and graphics card for a desktop that were running Linux, which ones should I be buying? Are AMD's chipsets better than those made by VIA? And what about ATI's cards? Of course, making business with an open source-friendly is a requirement that I've beeing making for, say, 2 or 3 years. []s, Roger... P.S.: I have an Asus A7V/VIA KT133 boarch here with a Matrox G400 card and I wish the performance were better (especially when I'm playing a DVD). At least, when I'm using the Promise IDE interface and ignore the IDE interface supplied by the southbridge, Linux feels faster. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Rogério Brito - rbrito@ime.usp.br - http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito/ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
