    Athlon 64 Mobo Recommendations?

    Nforce3 250 really all that much faster than the 150?

    I realize that the Nforce 3 250 line is coming out soon (next month or early 04) but is it really going to be any faster than the current 150? The Via boards have the current max hypertransport speed enabled yet the two chipsets are pretty much tied, what do you think?

    Which Has Better Linux Support? Nvidia or VIA mobos?

    Does the Nforce 3 or the Via Hyperion 4 in 1 drivers have better support in linux? Specifically for gentoo/redhat/slackware for gaming most likely.

    He has used many video cards from a new VisionTek Xtasy GeForce III Ti 500 to GeForce 2 and etc... And I don't think this is a video card bios beep because that is not how the manual describes it.

    Abit KR7-A Problems, Won't Post!!!

    Okay we tried it completely Isolated and it still doesn't work. I hope the CPU isn't busted but the mobo still won't work with another CPU that is proven to work (on another system). Does anyone know what this kind of BIOS error means? Thx again

    Abit KR7-A Problems, Won't Post!!!

    An update to the situation: It has been determined that It might not be the motherboard and could possibly be the ram. The new development in the story is that the motherboard is now giving a BIOS beep when booting up, the sound is a long beep and then a long pause that repeats itself. Would...
