It's an SK43G, with a Sempron 2800+ in socket A, and 512MB of RAM.  It 
recognizes the CPU as an Athlon XP 2400+, which seems a bit odd, but 
seems to be plenty fast and to run reasonably cool.  Since the mobo 
seems to want to underclock the processor a bit I'm experimenting with 
lowering the CPU voltage to cool it even more.

I put a 128MB GeForce 5200FX with DVI out in the AGP slot, and that also 
seems to work great; it has nice, crisp picture and no overscan on my 
Samsung 50" DLP screen.  Right now it has a 200GB Maxtor drive in it, 
but I'm going to take that out and replace it with a small drive, or 
maybe even boot it off of the network or CF.  The big drive will go in 
my file server, along with a couple of others in RAID-5 config.

Now if I could only get the six-channel audio to work... :-(
