greets!

need recommendations for a reliable mobo to run Linux (favor Debian
Lenny, perhaps (also) OpenSuse).

don't do gaming or overclocking; reliability and compatibility with Linux
are the priorities.

must have some standard pci slots.

I want to leverage some parts I have: 2 DDR2 sticks and an Intel core 2
duo LGA775.

anyone? shopping for recommendations....

(background: recently bought an Intel DP43BFL and simply cannot get it to
see the standard pci slots which I need for my vintage trusty Hauppauge
WinTV card.)

Plug in your requirements, and see what gets spit out.

great site!

except -- nothing shows up if I specify: Core 2 duo; LGA 775 Socket
(everything else set to 'any').

my cpu is:

* Intel core 2 duo
* FSB 1333 MHz
* Socket LGA775
* L2 Cache 6MB

I have an Intel DG35EC that works with my Hauppauge PVR-150 card,
but it only has the _one_ PCI Conventional slot. If you only need
one slot, and can use a MicroATX board, check it out at:

yeah, sorry: I had noticed you had mentioned this board in another post
but also saw it was out-of-stock at newegg so it dropped out of mind.

but I just checked at tigerdirect, also no luck.

I would rather have more slots but so be it. I have a Thermaltake case
which as far as I can tell can house a micro ATX.

I see it offered elsewhere. I will browse.
