MOTHERBOARD P5K64 WSLooking at the specifications[1], doesn't seem it may have serious problems, except if you're planning to use crossfire. I have no idea about crossfire support on linux.
i think it's SLI compatible.
GPU NVidia GeForce 9800 GT 512 MB (denied availability of all specific makes i mentioned; ZOTAC, XFX, ASUS) :(Try rashi peripherals[2]. But why are you buying a crossfire compatible board with a Nvidia graphics cards?
Both the nVidia graphic card and the specified MoBo are SLI compatible, although I won't be using it at least in the immediate future; i look forward to have a dual graphic card setup soon though. Therefore SLI. AFAIK, Crossfire is specific to ATI cards. I just hope I did my homework right :) Will check on this once more and will confirm.
Err! it appears like i didn't do my homework right! Thanks a ton again for pointing it out Mehul, you really saved a lot more than just my a.. :P I don't know when and how I missed it, but that was a disaster waiting to happen!!
P5K64 WS is not an SLI compatible board; neither is P5K WS. So am back to square one! I really owe you one for this Mehul! :) Many thanks!!
Sincere apologies to all for this. Big blunder on my part. Lesson learned! I think. Will get back with my selection of MoBo, this time, being careful.
