hello,
I plan to get a new PC in the following months, it'll be custom build and I like to ask for compatibility with Suse. So here are some questions.
1) Compatibility with the major components:
- CPU: Intel i7 4930 - 3.9 Ghz
- MOBO: ASUS P9X79 Deluxe ATX ('deluxe' just means a few more USB ports)
- RAM: Corsair Pro DDR3 1600
The components are compatible as far as hardware goes, the question goes for Linux/Suse.
2) Compatibility of Suse with SSD (Solid State Drives).
At least for the 'root/boot' drive, will add a secondary drive fro data, can it be SSD or a more common SATA.
3) GPU: NVIDIA GeoForce GTX 690
At first I'll use the build-in Intel graphics from the CPU, as I save more money I'll try to get this NVIDIA Card.
4) I *may* dual boot with Windows 8.1 (because they support SSD), I heard of problems at least with new Dells or HP that come with the OS already in, in my case *if* I add the Windows partition then it'll be an off-the-shelf copy (or amazon.com copy).
Ok, those are the more common components, if any knows of important issues with these hardware and Linux/Suse please let me know, this PC is for work as far as the Suse partition goes.
Thank you
