Hi All
I finally have the cash to upgrade the home machine to a respectable
level. Maybe not Q3 level, but enough so that I don't fall asleep
waiting for the kernel to compile!
I want a Duron and motherboard as I have the rest ready to go. I'm
looking for some advice on:
1) What speed chip to buy. Of course higher is better, but I remember
reading that there was an increase in FSB speed between two models.
Anyone know what I am talking about?
2) What motherboard I should buy, but I should be asking which chipset
works best with Linux?
3) Anyone had any problems/gotchas using AMD chips/chipsets?
Hope someone can help.
Regards
Darrell
