I am looking for some recommendations for a stable and reliable motherboard
for building five Fedora Core 3 systems. My top concerns are:
Motherboard:
* Reliability of the main motherboard.
* Chipset Support (i.e Easy Installation) from the kernel.
* Price is some what important but not the deciding factor (no more
than $140.00)
* Nice to have features would be dual-lan on board.
* I have no CPU preference, so it could be AMD or Intel solution. (CPU
Speed is not important)
* Chipset/Performance vs Price. (I would prefer a newer chipset if it
doesn't break the $140.00 mark)
Network Cards:
* If the motherboard doesn't have on-board Lan (I need two Ethernet
connections in each system) Then what is a good and stable NIC card?
A typical system once built will contain:
* 200GB Hard Drive
* DVD R/W
* 512 Megs of RAM
* 2 Ethernet Connections (Giga-Lan Optional)
* ATX Case (Mini or Mid Tower)
* Good Power Supply (Probably an Enermax..)
Of course I have searched the NET for MFTB numbers from Manufactures, but
haven't really come up with anything solid yet. Some of the Manufacturers I
have looked at include ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, and DFI. I'm open to others as
well.
Thanks
