a FIC SD11 motherboard recent like within the last 6 months and an AMD k7 Atholon processor? If so, did you have problems with LInux recongnizing more than 64mb of ram? I have tried several things and will be trying Linux 2.2.14, but suspect Linux has a problem with the chipset on this board. Its the only thing that makes sense. I might go ahead if this kernel upgrade doesn't work and get another board like an Asus. Thought this would be another idea. tnx
