stay away from via chipsets...
I have (unhappy) exeperienced what could do a wrong mix of ram+intel+via...
unable to compile ardour all in one go, kernel compilation freezes.
After several attempts finally I thought it was a gcc bug or something else
with dependencies or missing packages.
I wrote on this list few weeks ago with no replies then an offlist
conversation with an hardware skilled user was very clarifying in this
sense.

Hi there,
I'd like to build a new DAW in the next 2 weeks. Budget is tight
and so I have chosen the following components to buy:
CPU:
• AMD Athlon X2 7750 Black Edition (K10 - Kuma core), 2x 2.70GHz, boxed
AD775ZWCGHBOX - €68,21
Cooler:
• Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro PWM - €16,65
•

Mainboard:
• Asrock AOD790GX/128M AMD790GX - €84,03
•
http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=AOD790GX/128M
Memory:
• 2x2048MB Kit OCZ Platinum XTC 1066MHz CL5 - €44,87
•

Power Supply:
• RASURBO GaminX & Power GAP565 - 550 Watt - €43,95
•
http://www.rasurbo.de/netzteil_gap565.html
Any thoughts on this? What I'd like to know the most is, how does the
AMD790GX
perform under Linux? Is it fully supported (chipset, graphics [very
important],
Which kernel would I need at least?
Does anybody here use an AMD790GX board? Are you happy with it? Any known
problems?
I'd be really grateful for any thoughts, experience, info, whatever.
Greets,
Raphael ;)
