Hi All!,

I want to buy new mother board for my AMD Athelon 64 CPU. Before I make a purchase, it would be great if we know all the on-board devices are supported by Linux Kernel.

I have 3 choices

1. Asus - K8V-MX (http://www.asus.com.tw/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=14&l3=276&model=118...)

Chipset: VIA K8M890 VIA VT8237A Audio: Realtek ALC660 6-Channel Codec LAN: Realtek RTL8201CL 10/100M LAN PHY

2. Mercury - KVM800M (http://www.mercury-pc.com/product-detail.php?link=p-mainboards&subtitle=...)

Chipset: VIA K8M800/8237 VGA: Embedded UniChrome II 3D Graphics with 64M share memory LAN: VIA VT6103 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet PHY Audio: Realtek ALC655 6-channel audio Codec (Compliant with AC 97 2.3 specification)

3. MSI - K8MM-V (http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=...)

Chipset • VIA(r) K8M800 Chipset - HyperTransport™ connection to AMD(r) Athlon™ 64 processor - 8 or 16 bit control/address/data transfer both directions - 800/600/400/200MHz "Double Data Rate" operation both direction - AGP v3.0 compliant with 8x transfer mode - Graphic integrated • VIA(r) VT8237R Chipset - Integrated Faster Ethernet LPC - Integrated Hardware Sound Blaster/Direct Sound AC97 audio - Ultra DMA 66/100/133 master mode PCI EIDE controller - ACPI - Supports 2 Serial ATA ports

Any help/pointer in deciding the compatibility will be appreciated. I have done some google search but found more non-English pages then English pages.

TIA for your help. With regards,
