I'm trying to figure out which motherboard/chipset would suit my needs best. I'm planning to install Gentoo Linux on the system, and I need it to be, first and foremost, stable and reliable - mainly to be used for number crunching (e. g., Mathematica), simulations, etc... No gaming. I'm between getting an Intel board with the D975X chipset and a board with the NVidia 680i chipset. Which of these chipsets is more favored in the Linux community and which might do better with number crunching applications? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
