The integrated sound card is not supported by linux.
The NIC works.
Updating the BIOS requires Windows. I am looking into using FreeDOS to update the BIOS.
FreeDOS will not let me upgrade the BIOS. The BIOS I bought with it works, but that is no reason to exclude Linux users.
Budget board.
Two sticks of Corsair CM64SD512-3200 work nicely with this board. I salvaged those high-end chips from my failed Windows box.
