I just got this board for my backend and it's working great.  I've got an
Nvidia FX5200,  2 PVR-250s and a PCHDTV card in it, 1GB PC2700, P4 2.4Ghz,
2 250GB SATA drives, 1 60GB ATA100, DVD+-RW, and a 2 port serial card (for
LIRC).  I had zero problems with ivtv on this board, whereas an AMD board
I had previously been using had issues (DMA).  I think I paid $99 and
