Will a Mk3 run with standard Marlin firmware?  

Re: Will a Mk3 run with standard Marlin firmware?

For various reasons I am interested in using standard Marlin firmware. If I buy a Mk3, will it run with the standard firmware? If so, what features will I be missing?

Yes, you just need to configure it.
You can use all features

The only challenge I can think that there may be will be the LCD screen which has been a challenge for a long time (original build environments required that the standard Arduino LCD stuff was disabled).

When I try to compile Marlin asks me if this is an "Arduino Mega or Mega2560 board"? Is it or something else?

Hi,
thank you for your reply.
Please, can you "expand" your statement? What do you mean with "configure"?
