I have just set up my new motherboard and CPU on my workstation.

I have chosen an Asus P5B-V motherboard with an Intel E4400 Core 2 Duo CPU. I have also acquired 2×1Go DDR2 memory from Corsair.

I wanted an Intel based video card (the Asus has a 965G integrated chipset), and I am now able to run (useless) compiz-fusion without a problem.

So far, everything runs fine, and the system is very quiet, even with the fan and heat sink shipped with the CPU. lm-sensors work fine with this configuration.

For now, I am trying to get a 1680×1050 resolution in console thanks to uvesafb and 915resolution in initramfs, but still have issues. I have contacted the developer and hope to be able to write an article explaining the necessary steps.
