I am looking for a Motherboard that will:
Run both Linux, XP, and Vista
Frequency 2 GB/sec (probably single core)
1 GB memory
1 PCIe slot
3 or more PCI slots
2 IDE ports (4 devices)
1 Floppy drive port
1 ps2 mouse port
1 ps2 keyboard port
4 or more USB 2 ports/header combinations
1 network port
On-board audio
(I don't use serial or parallel ports)
Passive cooling for onboard chips
Will accept after market CPU cooler, e.g. Zalman
Intel or AMD CPU (probably AMD because it runs cooler)
SATA ports
BIOS boots to USB devices
I am confused in that some web posts say that ASUS Motherboards now do not support Linux (drivers). It is not clear from ads which boards support Linux & which don't. (A Google search on Linux Hardware lists a few Motherboard makers.)
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks
