Any motherboard will work. I suggest the A8V instead of the A8V-Deluxe because Promise is not a good controller brand when using it in Linux. What I mean is Promise controllers are glitchy in Linux. I highly prefer people to use Highpoint than Promise controllers when using Linux. Promise controllers works well in Windows. If you are going to play intense games and you do not mind buying a GeForce7, I suggest an ABIT AN8 Ultra or Abit AX8. I suggest staying away from ASUS motherboards because the indicators and switch headers do not match the manual with two of my brother's ASUS models.
