This is a very good dual Socket G34 workstation motherboard. I have had it for about 9 months and it has been rock-solid. The only niggle with it is that only one of the top two PCI Express x16 slots can be used at any one time. Linux support is excellent; the only thing not 100% supported is the hardware monitoring chip (Winbond W83667HG-A.) Lm_sensors even has partial support for that chip using the W83627EHF driver.
