I had a failure in a back-up computer last month and have been
looking for a cheap replacement board. This board has on-board video
which I would like to use. I have not been able to determine if it
has dedicated video memory or if it shares the main memory somehow
and if that will cause problems?
I guess what I want to know is does anyone have experience with this
board? I would not install Windows, only Fedora Linux, probably F-9.
Thanks.

Just a quick thought, this board supports Crossfire, which shares
memory and GPU between ATI cards, so it most likely has dedicated
memory.

Since it is onboard, and ATI, ATI usually has good support in Linux (I
have a DFBS-D board with ATI onboard with 8 meg memory and it runs
great on F9) and doesn't show much of a driver problem. I use my linux
boxes as servers more than desktop/gaming because I have some rather
stupid stuff I run on the Windows systems that I have a hard time
migrating off of.

That's encouraging, at least there's hope it may work.
Thanks.
