Intel Launches New Chipset

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the bigger-better-deal dept.

mikemuch writes "The new P35 and G33 chipsets, codenamed 'Bear Lake' are now available. They have a new memory controller that supports DDR3 RAM at up to 1333MHz, a new southbridge, and will support the upcoming 45nm Penryn CPUs. They don't yet have an actually new and different GPU — their GMA 3100 is pretty much the same as the GMA 3000 of the G965 chipset."

    I've done some reading and decided on the asus M2NPV-VM board w/ athlon 64 x2 3800+ cpu and this seems like a good way to go for Linux. Drivers for nvidia are available for Linux, I don't see why intel is the only way to go for Linux.
