Hi there,
Hope this is the right forum to ask. I was checking the list of supported motherboards in order to try linuxbios, I could find I can buy one of this motherboards which are similar but not the same to VIA that are mentioned on the page, i.e.
VIA EPIA-SP13000 Motherboard, Socket 370Specs according to the vendor are:
Specifications:
- Processor: VIA C3/ VIA Eden EBGA processor - Chipset: VIA CN400 North Bridge; VIA VT8237 South Bridge - System Memory: 1x DDR266/333/400 DIMM socket supports up to 1GB memory size - VGA: Integrated VIA UniChromePro AGP graphics with MPEG-2 decoder /MPEG-4 Accelerator - Expansion Slots: 1 PCI - Onboard IDE: 2x UltraDMA 133/100 Connector - Onboard Serial ATA: 2 SATA Connectors - Onboard LAN: VIA VT6103 10/100 Base-T Ethernet PHY - Onboard Audio: VIA VT1617A 6channel AC' 97 codec - Onboard TV Out: VIA VT1623 TV Encoder - Onboard 1394: VIA VT6307S IEEE 1394 Firewire
On the link that's on the supported motherboards page appears, http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/mainboards/motherboards.jsp?motherboard_id..., and the specs from the manufacturer are: VIA EPIA MII. Chipset VIA CLE266 North Bridge VIA VT8235M South Bridge
The North/South bridges in the manufacturer page, are different to the ones in the list of compatible motherboards. specs on the motherboard page are: VIA EPIA-MII VIA VT8623 VIA VT8235, Ricoh RL5C476 VIA VT1211 VIA C3, VIA EDEN Socket 370 OK So I'm a bit confused and wouldn't like to buy something that's unable to support linuxbios, I'll appreciate if someone can help me, or give me some advice
Cheers, Pablo Sosa
