Hi,

Just a "hands up" re. use/testing of motherboards based on
the new Intel 915 and 925 chipsets.

Are there anybody using or testing mb's based on these now?

Im looking into getting an Intel mb for testing later this
summer, like fi:

Desktop Board D925XCV

or the

Desktop Board D915GEV.

There are several issues regarding drivers I imagine, like:

* IntelŪ High Definition Audio subsystem using the Realtek
   ALC860 audio codec.
* PCI Express
* IntelŪGigabit (10/100/1000 Mbits/sec) LAN subsystem using the Marvel
   Yukon 88E8050 PCI Express Gigabit
* GMA900 onboard graphics subsystem.
* Graphics on the PCI Express x16 bus.

Any info regarding testing and problems on these chipsets or
mb would  be appreciated. Speculations and opinions also :-)

regards

Stein M. Sandbech
