[CLUE-Tech] Motherboard Recommendations

> If you are having poor data transfer speeds with your hard drive, then you probably do not have support for the VIA82CXXXX chipset. Note that this in only available for kernel 2.4.17 and later. If you are using a stock Redhat 7.2 kernel, this chipset is not supported. You will find this option under the IDE driver section in the kernel configuration. After compiling this support my disk I/O increased from 6Mb/s to 18Mb/s

Wow. Pine isn't line-wrapping that sucker, so I can't see it all.


I'm running linux 2.4.19-ac4, as a means of having more chipsets
supported: No dice.  I'm running debian, too.  If I use the 2.5.x kernels
(whatever is latest and buildable) it works great - but my Nvidia drivers
(compiled) don't compile (they don't support devel kernels).

So, until 2.6, or I find a patch that works on the Nvidia drivers, it's
slow transfers for me.


Oh well.
