Mobo/graphics card Linux compatibility
Hello,
I am assembling information on hardware to build a high-end PC with a dual-processor board. It is to run under Linux, and I am reluctant to rely on the completeness of caompatibility databases like the one at SuSE (my envisioned distro). I have been thinking of Intel boards like SE7500CW2, SE7501CW2, SE7501WV2 or SE7505VB2, but checking the SuSE and Intel sites, I don't find unambiguous information on whether they work with the most recent SuSE Linux or not (at Intel it says sometimes tested on one features list page, but is not mentioned in the compatibility list on another). Does anybody have experience with one of these boards carrying two Xeons with at least 2.8 GHz and 533 MHz board speed? I would also like to know if the graphics cards on these boards (do they all have one?) are reasonably good. No games, but visualization of 3D data sets intended. Thanks for any input. Tom |
