Hello I just joined the list and I am truly excited to hear that Nvidia is cooperating with the MCP55 chipset. I have an ASUS M2N-E motherboard and here are my stats. The BIOS is socketed. Please forgive me if I haven't followed protocol here - newbie. Are there pre-built packages/payloads for me? I want the full LinuxBIOS and plan to buy a larger EEPROM of at least 2MB in size.
Google has been of little help to me. I am glad to see support for the Gigabyte board and I am looking into possibly getting one later for another machine. Also, what about support for the G stepping AM2 CPU's?
Thank you for any help.
