Doesn't look too interesting just yet... apart from H.R. 2987. (Okay, so I'm german... but when even the US treats freedom of speech this way, Germany will do even worse :-( <p> <p>email email email... I'm swamped. But it gets better on weekends ;-) And the bulk of this I collected while I was at my grandma's and couldn't get at my mail. <p> <p>There was a nice comparison of Athlon boards in the current c't. They mention that the ASUS K7V has sound on-board... but it's not a real sound-card in that the CPU has to do all the processing (a WinSoundCard if you will). <p> <p>Of course there are drivers for Windoze... they mention drivers for Linux, but I fear they're binary-only. *sigh* If that is the case I'd have to go with a K7M... luckily they also say that the features the VIA Northbridge provides aren't really that necessary. <p> <p>I just checked on www.asus.com, and it looks as if there are binary drivers for K7V sound. Damn. So K7M it will be (hopefully soon :-/) Is cheaper anyway ;-) <p> <p>Oh, and mkdist has had 4 downloads already! ;-) Well, I hope someone sends me some feedback... gotta mention that in the package.
