Well it depends on what you want in your new board, workstation vs server....I just built 2 machines based on this board....MSI 785G-E53 AM3 785G...with amd quad cores....one is acting as a server and centos 5.5 loaded up just fine with no issues, running KVM with a couple of VM's....I would look at the 1055T or 1090T CPU which have 6 cores and would probably give you better performance if you want to run 4 or 5 vm's.....the one thing that I did was use a pata DVD burner...since I have heard of issues with the sata versions and centos....I prefer amd to Intel since I'm always on a very limited budget...;) On Mon, Nov 1, 2010 at 11:24 AM, Basil Kurian <basilkurian at gmail.com> wrote: > Which among these three motherboard is the best supported in Linux > (Centos/Ubuntu) ? > > > Intel® Desktop Board DH55HC [ http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=42409 ] > > Intel® Desktop Board DP55WG [ http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=40078 ] > > Intel® Desktop Board DP55KG [ > http://www.intel.com/products/desktop/motherboards/DP55KG/DP55KG-overview.htm] > > > > Also which will be a good processor , for using in a desktop PC to run 4 or > 5 Virtual machines concurrently on VirtualBox or VMWare ESX server ? > > > Intel® Xeon® Processor X3460 [ http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=42931] > or > Intel® Core™ i7-870S [ http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=48498 ] > > > > -- > Regards > > Basil Kurian > http://basil.co.nr > RSA Public key : gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 41005549 > > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
