I have seen the supported motherboards list, my question being I was looking into the DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra-D ATX AMD Motherboard. The problem is Onboard LAN LAN Chipset Vitesse VSC8201 Second LAN Chipset Marvell 88E8001 I see neither in the supported hardware list. So is this supported? Problem is most newer boards use Marvell, if its not supported is it perhaps in current or will be in future releases? I have also seen an ATI Express 200 Chipset Mobo but I have heard stay away from ati due to unsupported hardware. Either via or nf4 chipset. If I go nf4 the DFI board seems cheap and in my budget. Any experience with these boards? Thanks -- Dev Tugnait
