Supported AMD64 Combinations

[Don Brown]

What are the best supported LinuxBIOS combinations for AMD 64 bit CPU
and motherboard?

If you need VGA, the Tyan S2885. [e-mail] is actively working on 
LinuxBIOS for the Tyan mainboards.

The Arima Rioworks HDAMA is also being worked on and currently powers 
Lightning, which currently holds #6 on the top 500 list (top500.org).

Oh, I should've asked if you're looking into socket 754, 940, or 939 CPUs.

Quick Offlist Question

[James Weir]

Hi All,

A little off-list but I am sure someone on the list will probably be able to
help.  I am looking to set up a PC104+ system for high performance frame
grabbing (MPEG or M-JPEG Compression) and have been looking at various
processor cards ranging from 233/300MHz Geode processors to Transmeta Crusoe
type boards with speeds of 533/800MHz have any of you guys and gals used
these sorts of boards and if so how have you found the performance, and
secondly has anyone used linuxbios on these boards to help speed up the
boot.

Cheers All,

James.

Does the EPIA have hardware MPEG compression?

Thanks guys,

I really need it to be a pc104+ form factor board, I am intending to use a
separate pc104+ framegrabber.

I seem to remember that

http://www.milesie.co.uk/shop/asp/product1.asp?Product=334

is supported in linuxbios - has PC104 slot. I havent used these with
Linuxbios but they are nice machines otherwise. Geode 300Mhz.

I'd build my own for the application, but for low volume off the shelf, 
look at a board like:

http://www.globalamericaninc.com/products_services/pc104/3001118.php

Up to 800 MHz Via Eden CPU + Savage4 Video for MPEG playback. 800MHz may 
be fast enough for XviD or MPEG encoding at your target resolution.
