    Hi.

    If you don't mind Gigabyte, then I'm running a GA-965P-DS4 with a 
Intel E6600 CPU, Linux installed, dual boot with Windoze... just a 
little problem with getting XP running, XP64 not a problem...

    If anyone is wondering how to get the network running on here, you 
need the SKY2 module (or compiled in) :)

    The mobo is here ->
