This is an unbelieveable motherboard. Not one problem with a fresh Gentoo install running pure 64bit code. Everything I have used works. Things I haven't used include onboard sound, firewire and SATA. Only reason I gave it a 9 was because I haven't tested those few things and can't vouche for them. Nvidia provides 64bit Linux drivers for this chipset. It is fast, stable and feature rich. The overclockability of this board surpasses that of my old ASUS A7N8X Deluxe by a country mile. Check it out, you won't be dissapointed.

I have some more info on this board at my amd64 page linked to below.

Everything worked out of the box with me. Both on-board NICs, the rather nice onboard sound, and all the various chipsets. The four SATA connections are quite nice too for RAID.
