Asus P4P800-VM and Linux
I am buying a new PC, which is going to run Linux (Mandrake 9.2). The
machine is equiped with this motherboards: ASUS P4P800-VM, vga/audio/lan/SATA, uATX with Intel i865G chipset and "Intel Extreme Graphics. http://uk.asus.com/products/mb/socket478/p4p800-vm/overview.htm - Does anyone has experience in using it with Linux? - Does it work 100% ("out of the box") with Linux? I am especially concerned about the build-in lan, audio og graphics. One things is if it works. Another thing is if perform well with Linux (or do I risk bad performance in disk-access etc)? Mandrake says the i865G chipset works when it comes to graphics http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/features.php3#14 , but what about the rest of the features of the motherboard? -j -- http://janus.dk |

An MX440 would give you better scores than the "Extreme Graphics" of the Intel Northbridge. I set up 3DMark2001SE on the machine and got 2400 or so. The 865G couldn't even support the entire feature set of DX8, and a couple of the tests in 3DMark2001 wouldn't run. As your prospective motherboard has an AGP slot, you can place a decent graphics card in it, and fix this. The computer I've got here has no AGP slot, so the built-in graphics are all it can use - fortunately this is not intended as a games machine... Paul |
