DVD not too fast, but works. One 1GB RAM stick is bad, tested with Memtest86+, but so far no problems! On-board Intel video didn't work too well, no fancy desktop, low screen resolution. Using latest nVidia driver, 7600GS works great! Max everything with no problem. Motherboard only supports SATA 150, not 300, but all other Ultrastar features seem to work (hdparm). Running Zoneminder - 4 chip Bt878 card, one camera. No problems with on-board audio or NIC 10/100. Epson printer works great, scan/photo/copy all work - no problems.

Did 'upgrade' to Hardy 8.04, but some necessary programs are not supported yet, so went back to 7.10. May reconsider with 8.10 upgrade.

Short of the on-board video, this system is solid. Running 24/7 for security camera, and for daily use.
