Powered by NVIDIA NF2 400 chipsets, M7NCD runs perfectly on Athlon XP Barton FSB400 CPUs. In addition, M7NCD supports 2DIMMs for DDR333/400 SDRAM, 5PCIs, CNR, ATA133, USB2.0, 6-Channel AC'97 Audio, Optical Audio S/PDIF output and integrated 10/100 LAN. Overall, this affordable yet powerful nFORCE2 mobo would be a vintage choice for people who long for a NVIDIA mainboard.

Only two issues:
First, the built-in LAN is not seen by any of the built-in drivers in the kernel; you need to download the drivers from NVIDIA in order to use the built-in LAN.
Second, the board cannot control fan speed (this is according to Biostar).

I give this a 4 on compatibility becuase the audio smells fishyFudge.. it has no hardware mixing 4 linux. Again NVIDIA provides proprietary drivers, but these ones don't have hardware mixing either.
Hardware mixing lets you play mutiple sounds at once without the need for a sound server, it's very annoying not to have.

Works great. The only problem I had was when I tried to use hardware mixing with the onboard sound; I couldn't get it to play several sounds at the same time (I didn't try very hard; I have a PCI sound card that I put in and works fine).
