OK been running 7.1 on my old Dell Dimension with limited memory and I am
thinking of building a new computer from scratch. I have noted some compatibility issues mentioned here with certain chip sets. So far nVidea seems to be the best way to go, but what about motherboards, I am thinking of a dual core Intel chip but I am not really wedded to Intel, I run an AMD64 on my XP machine. I intended to do photography and maybe play with video so I am looking at the Ubuntu Studio project. Any ideas and suggestions? |

Then correct your version references in future. There is no version 7.1, and never has been such. |

All on AMD64 single core processors on three seperate motherboards. Soltek SL-K890Pro 939 board,Via K8T890 chip set. K8N-LR Asus Nforce 4 SLI, 64 Opteron. Gigabyte K8N51-GMF9, Nvidia 6100 chip set. all with 2gig mem, different brands. They all have different chip sets and they all preform great with Ubuntu. BMAN. |

In the past year or so, the same can be said of Intel and VIA graphics adapters. I have a couple of desktops with integrated VIA and a laptop with integrated Intel - they all work splendidly. [..] |

I'm also using an old Dell Dimension 8100 which is short of memory (256MB). I considered upgrading the memory, but the RDRAM it uses is very expensive and I can buy a new system unit from Novatech or Ebuyer with 1GB for not much more than the cost of 512MB RDRAM. I'm also going to need a bigger disk soon, as I have 1,000s of digital photos. I've never built my own box before, so it would be a good challenge. |

The Extreme version of the Penryn core is out now, the mainstream version will be out in January. Intel based motherboards are always well supported. |
