Hello there,
I am about to get a new system and I have a couple of simple questions
about hardware compatibility.
1. I am thinking about getting an ASUS K8N board with Athlon 64 processor.
Do I have to install FC3 x86_64 or can I install 32bit FC3. If I can do
both, which one is better, especially if I want to compile and run some
32bit applications.
2. I am thinking about getting just two SATA HDs. The motherboard has
Sil3114 controller. Will FC3 installer recognize the disks and let me
install the system?
3. Will I be able to use the Realtek ALC850 audio controller or should I
buy a separate sound card (I was thinking about getting an Audigy card).
4. Similar things with the built-in gigabit LAN. I am not even sure what
that is - it says "Chipset built-in Gigabit MAC with external Marvell PHY
supporting 10/100/1000 BASE-T Ethernet" in the specs.
Any thoughts and other recommendations are welcome.
Thanks in advance for your time,
Andy
