I'll second the vote for this motherboard + video chipset combo.
The only funny with this board is that it really won't work with mized 
PATA and SATA hard drives...at least, it won't boot from a PATA drive if 
you have SATA drives mounted...Weird BIOS.
I threw in a small SATA drive for /dev/sda and it's rock solid. All 
sorts of inputs and outputs. I put in 4 GIG of memory and gave video 1 GIG.

Awesome playback on my DELL 24" 1920x1080 screen with Fedora 10, SVN 
trunk and VDPAU with the 180.51 version driver.

Very cool running too, in an Antex P182. Only the CPU fan runs. The rest 
are not needed.
