All worked out of the box
Both Ethernet connectors were recognised and usable
(however as you would expect using 2 NICs ensure the gateway device is set correctly)
Analog Onboard sound worked out of the box
Fantastic sound quality
(my previous card was an Audigy 2 ZS)
Optical and Coaxial worked with the flick of 2 switches in ALSAMIXER
Downsides
No official support from NVIDIA for Sound device.
