Installed this about a week ago along with an AMD64-dual core 4400+.

Reason for purchase was to retain my AGP card. Cannot get the nvidia drivers to work (white screen) and have not figured out why. Works well with the Xorg nv driver so no real complaints. Also using a standard 20 pin power connector with no problem.

All hardware was automatically recognised and configured by the above kernel. Ran about 24 hours of stress testing with cpuburn-in and the cpu temps are in the mid 30C.

Installed 1GB Crucial 6400 RAM running at 800.

The system has run faultlessly and with the "cool and quiet" controller is a very quiet box. Good upgrade at low cost and very quick. I am very impressed.
