Kernel (uname -r): 2.6.18 (SMP)
Distribution: Debian 3.1



[Log in to get rid of this advertisement]
Great board, worked out of the box with default kernel 2.6.18 on Debian etch, using Nvidia display driver. It runs like hell with self compiled SMP kernel and dual core 4200+ CPU.

Big benefit:
-This board has 4 PCI slots!
-The chipset of this board is passive cooled (no noisy fan)

The only disadvantage I noticed was the slightly high temperature of the north bridge. I replaced the original small passive cooler by an also passive Zalman ZM-NB47J cooler which was available for 6,34 EUR.

This board is running very stable and silent.
