    Linux Ubuntu Asus & Gigabyte H67 M/B support

    HI,
    I'm considering of buying either one of these M/Bs that have everything on-board (VGA, Lan & Audio), 4GB Ram & an Intel Core i3-2100 (3M Cache, 3.10 GHz) and install Linux Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 LTS 64bit to utilize the 4GB Ram.

    ASUS P8H67-M PRO B3 REV 3.0
    http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Int...specifications

    Gigabyte GA-H67MA-USB3-B3
    http://www.gigabyte.us/products/prod...px?pid=3806#sp

    Intel Core i3-2100 (3M Cache, 3.10 GHz)
    http://ark.intel.com/products/53422/

    I noticed that neither manufacturers have Linux Drivers for their M/B, so will all the M/B components (H67 chip-set, Lan, Audio, VGA) will be recognized by the Ubuntu installation. I'm concerned whether the on-board graphics processor of the chip-set & CPU will work in Ubuntu?
    Or whether I should get a separate PCI Express 16x VGA card (NVIDIA / ATI) that both support Linux.

    Otherwise , which other equivalent M/B would be 100% compatible with Linux Ubuntu...

    Thanks in advance

    Please don't post the exact same thing in two forums - it gets rather hard to keep track of

    Everything is well supported on paper.

    However, occasionally motherboard firmwares can be excessively stupid, and cause issues with Linux booting (e.g. I dealt with a laptop a couple of weeks ago that would only boot a 32-bit kernel)

    I'm not personally familiar with that motherboard so cant comment 100%, however from personal experience I can confirm that Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit does fully support the intel chipset, the sandybridge CPU and the GPU within that.
    I also dont have the experience that directhex has around various firmwares, but that sounds reasonable caution too.
    I'm commenting on an internet forum. Your facts hold no sway over me.

    OK, sorry about that!

    So the integrated Intel HD Graphics 2000 of the CPU will be recognized by Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 LTS 64bit? from the installation and I will not need to search for additional drivers?

    Thanks in advance!
