Well it depends on what you want in your new board, workstation vs server....I just built 2 machines based on this board....MSI 785G-E53 AM3 785G...with amd quad cores....one is acting as a server and centos 5.5 loaded up just fine with no issues, running KVM with a couple of VM's....I would look at the 1055T or 1090T CPU which have 6 cores and would probably give you better performance if you want to run 4 or 5 vm's.....the one thing that I did was use a pata DVD burner...since I have heard of issues with the sata versions and centos....I prefer amd to Intel since I'm always on a very limited budget...;) On Mon, Nov 1, 2010 at 11:24 AM, Basil Kurian <basilkurian at gmail.com> wrote:> Which among these three motherboard is the best supported in Linux > (Centos/Ubuntu) ? > > > Intel?

I did have to add the 'irqpoll' kernel parameter to get the SATA ports to work.> > On Mon, Nov 1, 2010 at 11:24 AM, Basil Kurian <basilkurian at gmail.com> wrote: > > > Which among these three motherboard is the best supported in Linux > > (Centos/Ubuntu) ? > > > > > > Intel??
