Now I am up'n running
Finally got a retention bracket for my AMD64 3000+ on a FIC K8-800T.
Have installed Windows 64-bit on it. And I am currently burning Linux Mandrake 9.2 for AMD64 to CD. It is a board slightly over half the price of most other boards, and has allt he features one would want. 2x FireWire. 4xUSB 2.0 + socket for 2 more. Audio bracket which includes optical and coax digital out etc etc. And just as important, serial ports and a printer port. |

Is that the RC1 or the release version? If release version, where did you find it?I've got RC1 here, but it doesn't see my raid controller. The i586 version of 9.2 does. Silcon Image 680. I'm also looking for drivers for the SIS180 sata/ata controller if you onow where I can find them if they exist yet. -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.htm |

I paid the 120 quid to become a MandrakeClub member so I could download MDK10 for x86, MandrakeMove-USB and MDK92 for AMD64. Don't use the RAID controller, so don't know if supported. The default kernel crashes if I have an USB mouse or keyboard connected. Had a little trouble putting a decent kernel on it (2.6.3) got the QM_MODULES: Function not implemented error trying to load any module. Had trouble install init-mod-utils as gcc don't know how to find static libc. So all in all I have less luck than I had hoped. Considering a few options right now. Maybe just recompile gcc and see if that helps, or switch to Suse or Gentoo. But would rather get Mandrake running, as my server is on MDK10. |

[re Mandrake 9.2 trouble on FIC K8 T800] Don't use the RAID controller, so don't know if supported. The default kernel crashes if I have an USB mouse or keyboard connected. dmesg in a kernel 2.6.3 told me to update my BIOS or disable legacy USB in the BIOS. So I updated my BIOS, and can now install with mouse and everything. Seems like they shipped with a pre-1.0 BIOS, as 1.0 is the latest. |

It cost me $120 which is a lot less than 120 pounds. |

Don't see why I couldn't pay in $ - with the current exchange rate it makes this kind of thing cheap... I renewed my domain for 5 years and it cost £55. Much less than I was expecting.

I had no option to select us$ even though I would have preferred to pay in that cheap currency. £65 + approx 15-20% VAT is close to £80 anyway.
