HI,
I'm considering of buying either one of these M/Bs that have everything on-board (VGA, Lan & Audio), 4GB Ram & an Intel Core i3-2100 (3M Cache, 3.10 GHz) and install Linux Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 LTS 64bit to utilize the 4GB Ram.
ASUS P8H67-M PRO B3 REV 3.0

Gigabyte GA-H67MA-USB3-B3
http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3806#sp
Intel Core i3-2100 (3M Cache, 3.10 GHz)
http://ark.intel.com/products/53422/
I noticed that neither manufacturers have Linux Drivers for their M/B, so will all the M/B components (H67 chip-set, Lan, Audio, VGA) will be recognized by the Ubuntu installation. I'm concerned whether the on-board graphics processor of the chip-set & CPU will work in Ubuntu?
Or whether I should get a separate PCI Express 16x VGA card (NVIDIA / ATI) that both support Linux.
Otherwise , which other equivalent M/B would be 100% compatible with Linux Ubuntu...
Thanks in advance
