savestheday Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I'm looking getting an ATI Rage XL 8MB PCI VGA card. Can I assume this'll just work? I'm pretty sure there's no reason it shouldn't. I'll be running it on a Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P because the board doesn't have onboard video and because I'm getting two of the IBM SAS cards to take up the PCI-E x8/16 ports. Thanks! Link to comment
defected07 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 As long as it works with your motherboard, I'm sure it'll be fine with unRAID. unRAID uses Slackware Linux drivers, and I believe is pretty good at configuring hardware. Link to comment
cyrnel Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Probably old news but be careful of this board's HPA feature. Link to comment

savestheday Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 Okay just read up on it. Seems there might be an option to disable it in the BIOS. Going to check that out thanks for the heads up!!! Link to comment
dgaschk Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 HPA needs to be off by default or it will bite you when your not expecting. Check if there is a BIOS update that has HPA off by default. Boards that do not have HPA off by default are not suitable for unRAID. Link to comment
