I thought only GeForce graphics were available on PPC64 and nForce > mainboard chipsets (including the onboard nic) were not. Well, my memory may be tricking me (I'm not really sure about this), but I remember there was supposed to be a PPC64 northbridge with a HT link, made exactly for the purpose of connecting an nForce southrbridge to it. But it definitely is not in production yet. -- Vojtech Pavlik SuSE Labs, SuSE CR
