<br>
Any thoughts on this? What I&#39;d like to know the most is, how does the AMD790GX<br>
perform under Linux? Is it fully supported (chipset, graphics [very important],<br>
Which kernel would I need at least?<br>
<br>
Does anybody here use an AMD790GX board? Are you happy with it? Any known problems?<br>
<br>
I&#39;d be really grateful for any thoughts, experience, info, whatever.<br>
