I have now built 5 different P4 (3.0 and 3.2 Ghz) computers with this MoBo and find that it does everything that I might need very well.

I use the USB ports for Corsair Memory sticks and they function well with automatic detection in SuSE Linux.

I Play DVDs (Unencrypted) and Play .vob (video and sound) In pure ram, if I copy the file to the hard drive and run it from that... load once and replay without error up to one Gig Ram... It won't ask the Hard Drive for anything.

Quad Boot up to Four OS (Redhat 7.3 LiLO on 1.2-5.25 FDD and GRUB on MBR) - SuSE 9.2 - FreeBSD 5.21 - Win98SE With GRUB)
used Quad boot system for experimentation for six weeks.

Typical configuration:
Two 7200 rpm Seagate, IBM or Maxtor SATA HDD with 8Meg Buffers
Corsair low latency high performance XMS DDR RAM 1 Gig
one Plextor or Teac DVD RW drive
one Zoom 2920 hardware modem... We only have two wire telegraph for a phone system :(
one Teac 1.2 (5 1/4) FDD ... just Because it still works and why not validate it :)
Nvida based Graphics Cards with big Ram (BFG, Mad Dog and Elsa Gloria-2)

At no time did anything ever fail due to the Motherboard, I have had some issues with my capabilities configuring boot loaders and installing unstable alpha Linux OS'es Like Very early Debian Sarge (not designed for P4 at the stage I was using) and early Unstable FreeBSD (Unix) but any Stable release especially as a single or dual only OS... This Board Rocks ( ABIT IS7 ) We now have Three different Computers running with SuSE Linux 9.1 and 9.2
