hi, I'm in the process of building a new computer and want to make sure that I can use linuxbios on it. I've narrowed my choice of boards down to GA-M57SLI-S4 or MS-7260, and had a few questions about them.
If i go with the GA-M57SLI-S4, I assume I will end up with one of the SPI bios boards. Has anyone managed to try this mod yet? http://www.linuxbios.org/pipermail/linuxbios/2007-September/024395.html I can probably get through the soldering, but my electronics knowledge isn't that great, so I would hate to be the guinea pig for the mod.
Regarding the MS-7260, PCIe and SATA, they are marked as untested. Is it likely that they will just work or will the be more likely that they will be broken for some reason.
Anyways, thats for all of the hardwork that has gone into this project, Josh
