Currently LinuxBIOS doesn't support too many desktop/workstation-type mainboards, but we intend to support more of them in the future. This page documents which desktop motherboards are supported, which are being worked on, where you can buy them etc. |

Supported Desktop Motherboards
Please see the "Desktops / Workstations" section of the list of supported mainboards. You can also have a look at the "Server" section, as the differences between desktop/server are not always very big. The current "flagships" as far as LinuxBIOS-supported desktop mainboards are concerned are probably the GIGABYTE GA-M57SLI-S4 and the ASUS A8N-E.
Candidate desktop mainboards for support in the future
Mainboards with AMD K8 northbridge and NVIDIA CK804 or NVIDIA MCP55 southbridge are good candidates for new mainboards. All or most components are supported already, so adding LinuxBIOS support for such a mainboard should be relatively easy. Please contact us on the mailing list if you intend to work on such a board or if you want to help with testing.
