Which mobo to chose or reject for 12.2 64bit? Jan 30th 2013, 21:55 There's a nice thread in the archives asking a similar question from a few years ago. I hope it's fair game to repeat a similar question in this new thread. My plan is to put a barebones PC together which will be a big step up from the Pentium3 on 12.1 that I've outgrown. So far my target has moved to an i5-3570K in a tower. Quite a bunch of mobos are offered, but there's no linux support offered in the OS specs for any I've studied. I would hate to find my selection wouldn't work with 12-2 64bit. I want to get a Z77 Ivy Bridge mobo which limits the selection to the higher end of the chart. None of the mobo reviews I've read have mentioned linux. The "off-beat" mobos are of course cheaper. A few of the following mention 64bit support as part of there OS support. For what it's worth I'll drops some mobos here I've been studying: BioStar TZ77MXE, ASRock Z77, MSI Z77MZ-G45, Gigabyte GA-Z77M-D3H, ASUS P8Z77-M. My own feeling is that the necessary linux mobo drivers come with the 12.2 OS DVD, but if I'm wrong about that, I would rather know about that before I order something. TIA for any relevant thoughts or suggestions on this topic! Heboland
