Description: All sorts of nice goodies on one motherboard. 5 SATA ports, but I seem to only be able to see 3 of them. But I suspect that is a configuration issue.

HDMI works really nicely at 1080i, minor quirks with the interaction of the NVidia driver and my Television.

I've put a AMD Phenom II X4 940 Deneb 3.0GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core Black Edition Processor and 4GB of memory into it.

All of the devices were recognized by the latest Ubuntu. I'm just running the 32 bit version.

Information same as before, thought that I'd give a further review some time out.

I love it.

Plain and simple, this machine sits in my living room and is always up. I've only had to reboot a few times, and that was due to a need to apply patches.
