Pros: Everything works "out of box" as far as tested except onboard sound on an older FC5 kernel. I've played games with great performance. I've never *ever* had stability issues in Linux with this board. Highly reccomended!
Cons: The onboard Audigy worked in FC5 but was glitchy. Alsa sliders were missing, options didn't work. This may have been fixed now, but I havn't been able to test. MOST apps could use the onboard but a couple wouldn't work no matter what I did. (this gives it a 9 instead of 10)

Does 4GB of DDR400 RAM actually run faster than 2GB (>bandwidth w/4?) in Linux? Most 939 boards decrease DDR when all 4 DIMM are used, so only 2 DIMM is >4 DIMM bandwidth, due to AMD memory controller limitations up toFX60x2, but not sure if Opteron has same limit.
