Compatibility

[Forty-two]

I'm building a new computer and have always wanted to try out Ubuntu and Linux in general so here I am looking for some information about the compatibility of the ABIT IP35 Pro LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813127030) that I intend to use. I've searched google and this site but only found one post where someone said that they were going to use it but never reported back. Does anyone have any idea?

Thanks for any help

Here's the rest of my build if anyone is interested:

It will all work fine that you have listed. Biggest headaches come from video cards (specifically, ATI cards).

Thanks for the quick response :biggrin:. Now I can get to ordering.

I would recommend not using anything Rosewill, especially a PSU. They are not good at all and may fry your PC. I personally use this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817104954) Forton Group (FSP) 450W PSU, but others swear by this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371007) Antec PSU.
