The board works very well so far, I have not experienced any problems with it.
My current setup:
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9300 @ 2.50GHz
RAM: 2 GB DDR2 Corsair 800 MHz CL-5
GPU: GeForce 8800 GTS 512
OS: slamd64 12.1 (64-bit multilib distro)
Kernel: Linux demonslayer 2.6.24.7 #1 SMP Sat Sep 20 18:44:11 EEST 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux (this is a custom kernel)
Note that you need a more recent kernel or the onboard ethernet won't work. It needs the module called 'e1000e' in order to work. I know that kernel version 2.6.21.5 (slackware 12.0) does NOT have this module available, but version 2.6.24.5 (slackware 12.1) does. Of course, you can probably compile it separately.
WARNING: The e1000e driver causes system hang on shutdown/poweroff !
