sfled's Journal: Next box: Non-Intel

Okidoke. As of this posting I've built a grand total of six boxes since 14 May 2002. All were built with the config I figured out from a little reading & web research: mid-ATX w/300w PS, Intel 815 mobo, Celi 1.1Ghz, 256MB ram, 20 GB 7200 RPM HD, CD, floppy. Easy to build, runs W98, W2K, RH7.2, SuSE8.1, etc. Very plain vanilla, fairly quick as web servers, domain controllers, regular office stuff...

SO, now I'd like to build something of comparable quality and price using non-Intel mobo & CPU. The system should be able to accept and run MS or *nix with the same ease that the Intel setup did. Suggestions?

get yourself an Epox mobo (if you aren't worried about hardcore overclocking a cheaper one will do) and an athlon XP which is in your price range. That will do you :)

Thanks, Vilim. Yes, just starting down this road, looking at all the flavors of AMD/mobos. The goals for this project are to stay as plain-vanilla as possible and to maintain compatibility with SuSE & Win2K.
