If you don't have the package, yum it or apt-get it. What does your mobo box say? When did you buy the mobo? As a rule, I always give all the original packing boxes and CDs to my clients for all items.
I am using Windows XP SP2 presently and have not yet installed Linux.Amtrying to acquire Mandriva 2007 from Mohan or Mehul.I bought the PC hardly 2 months ago.I don't have the mobo box.but i have the Intel Express Installer Driver CD and there's documentation on it full of what features their various mobo's support and how to install and reset CMOS ......
101 GGC uses DDR RAM. 102 GGC and 965 RYCK use DDR2.
that means i cannot use my present RAM if I am not mistaken as to the meaning of what those specifications in the links you gave say. Do you think the reseller will cut me some slack coz it was his mistake?
I tried Sabayon on a couple of 102GGC boards. Works perfectly, including the
5.1 surround sound. I just had to change from 2 speaker mode to 5.1 in kmix.
Mine is 101GGC and since i have absolutely NO experience with Linux,i would like to get a normal distro first and gain some knowledge before experimenting.sorry :-(
