The BIOS needs to be updated. The BIOS it was shipped with hung during install -- I also tried to install Windows 2000 Pro to see if it was a FC4 thing, but that hung also. After I updated the BIOS to rev 1.1e, the FC4 installation completed just fine.

The on-board sound and LAN driver is in the FC4 distribution --- no hassle. I have it running a 1.6Ghz P4 400Mhz FSB with 1.5GB of PC2700 DDR(333MHz). It is very stable --- I have been running folding@home and clustered dvdrip for the last week on it with no issues.
