Subject: is nForce2 good choice under Linux?
Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2004 21:10:36 +0100 (CET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.58.0402132048330.31906@alpha.polcom.net> (raw)

Hi,

I am recently considering buying Abit AN7 motherboard with NVIDIA nForce2 
Ultra 400 with MCP-T bridge. But I found some posts on the Internet that 
states there are some problems with nForce2 chipsets under Linux.

So my questions:

1. What is the status of nForce2 support under Linux? What works what not? 

2. Are the drivers binary or source or open source? Are the drivers in 
mainline kernels or do I need a patch?

3. Are there any problems with this chipset? Are the problems hardware 
based or soft based (= will/can be fixed)? Are ACPI, APIC, IRQ and so on 
working OK?

4. Are there any workarounds in the kernel for hardware bugs? Do they 
affect performance/stability?

5. Should I choose other mainboard? Why? Which?

6. Any comments from people which use this mainboard/chipsets under Linux?

I am mainly interested in 2.6 kernels, if it does change anything.


thanks in advance and sorry for my english

Grzegorz Kulewski
