Painless installation. Everything worked out of the box. Speedy SATA operation using ICH10R in AHCI mode. Have not tested the JMicron SATA/PATA controller, but there should be support in the kernel. S/PDIF optical out works after unmuting IEC958 in alsamixer. Hardware monitor sensors work with modules f71882fg and coretemp. Overall performance is very good and the board operates rock-stable.
