I'm about to put together new computer and I would really like go with an AthlonXP/nForce2 combo...
But I would also like to use a Radeon 9500 pro or maybe even a 9800.
Have there been any problems with using newer Radeon in concert with nForce2 mobo's?
Thanks in advance for the help!
If there are problems then I'm really going to be torn...I'm kinda leaning towards an nVIDIA card due to the better support in Linux, which I use a lot.
As an aside -- I just completed my first install of Gentoo from stage1...that was a learning experience! Not easy for me but was very fun...I strongly recommend it. A gentoo system built for your PC from scratch is very fast and contains only what you explicitly specify...but it also takes a day or two of compile time. nVIDIA support within Gentoo is very good.
