Debian dual boot with Windows 7



Thanks for all the advice.  I received the computer yesterday and had
a little time to mess with it.  It has Award Modular Bios and it does
support virtualization.  PCUSA loaded the Windows on the system so I
do not know if they used SLP or not.  I will try to make a virtual
image.  Windows 7 seems OK however I am looking forward to Debian.  I
am interested in seeing if Debian supports all the drivers (AMD 890
chipset, USB3.0, SATA3, and the on board lan).   I would also
eventually like to try Linux BIOS. I never used a 64 bit machine so
that maybe an adventure. The Gigabyte board looks really good.  It has
all high quality Japanese capacitors, etc and a thick copper plate in
the board to keep it cool.
