I've been using this board for quite some time now, and I haven't met any problems yet. All of the boards functions worked out of the box. I'm a pleased customer using yet again a brilliant motherboard designed by ASUS.

I've had this board a few days and I'm very pleased with it. Debian etch installed very easily and everything worked.
The audio sounds good when it's being used right, but some things have problems (e.g. UT2004 which needs direct access to the sound hardware and sounds a bit scratchy - although mostly things sound fine). This is software specific, and probably common to most onboard sound chips, but I mention it because I never had this problem with my SBLive 5.1 card. I'm just saying don't expect the audio to always be perfect ;)

kernel sata.i from cd
sata works fine
no detected mcp55 ethernet
Is a lot of features on this board, is a shame for me I don't know how to use it. I need help to configure a 2.6 kernel for this board.
