Any reason you dont want to go with an Intel? personally id recommend
a C2D E4500 on an ASUS P5K-SE as a good cheap yet powerful system.
Anything based on an Intel chipset is usually a safe bet for *nix
compatibility and Nvidia for the video card is another safe bet. I
dont know a great deal about AMD chipsets so i wont go there. I have
everything from a 965 chipset to a P35 chipset and they work out of the
box. If you want to go extra extra budget and E2140 will save you
around $100 over the E4500 but you do sacrifice a bit of speed to do
that.<br>
Just a bit of a brainstorm here but you may be a huge AMD fan so i wont
go too far into it.<br>

P.S My local PC store does an E4500 system for under $600 so they are
dirt cheap.<br>

<br>
I am thinking of purchasing a new computer, something that Ubuntu will
<br>
work with "out of the box". Could any one give me some suggestions to<br>
what would be a Ubuntu friendly motherboard that is readily available<br>
online and a suitable AMD CPU to match. I am looking at the budget end
<br>
of the the market. I was intending also to purchase a N Vidia Ge Force<br>
8500 GT as well as my present ATI card has driven me over the edge. Any<br>
comments and suggestion would be most welcome thanks.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
Todd<br>
