I was thinking the same few years ago, but on two Asus boards two had problems. K8V-X SE is the board I have now, it's very bad choice for Linux, it crashes very often when starting X (with DRI) - it's related to buggy BIOS and AGP. On another board SATA was supported after few months and there was constant problem with network (there was long discussion about it on LKML) - networking was working after boot but stops working after a while. It was never fixed, so I don't use this board anymore. -- Free Software - find interesting programs and change them NetHack - meet interesting creatures, kill them and eat their bodies Usenet - meet interesting people from all over the world and flame them Decopter - unrealistic helicopter simulator, get it from http://decopter.sf.net
