This motherboard has a built-in Geforce 6100 video card and chipset. I was getting lockups using the vanilla open soucre drivers. Everything was fine after installing the closed Nvidia graphics driver and Nforce driver for the network interface and sound card. It's working pretty well with Kubuntu (for AMD64). Had to install with the alternate non-graphical installer due to the freeze-ups. Other then the hicups everything is golden. I was able to put together a pretty nice AMD64 based system for $220. Hardcore Free software people will not like having to use this motherboard with the closed drivers. Ultimately it's your choice.

Use this motherboard to test linux distros. Haven't had any problems running individual distros. Video and audio are excellent. Love watching Hulu.com on this system.
