Thank you, but my distro is 9.3 pro and it has a 64 bit version, and i just tried it and it hanged. And yes are you sure it's a GIGABYTE GA-8IPE1000 Hyperthreading rev 4.0?
I really dont want to download another distro while mine works fine.
One more thing, when the installation settings screen appears, where you can change partitions, booting, package selection, etc. in the system detection it says: system: unknown-unknown, instead of system: "vendor"-"model number" (of motherboard).
but it does detect the processor and RAM.
That happened in both the 64bit and 32bit installation. If SuSE 10.0 doesn't say that then it's worth a try.

--Thanks
