Funny that - I just bought this motherboard to work as my slave backend
and main frontend... I've been a little surprised at the sluggishness of
it when running CentOS 5. I've got an X2 4200+ on mine. Drives 1080i
just fine so far...

Driving mine to a 1920x1080 LCD, running with a 1920x1080 at 59.94
resolution...

I'm loving the VGA output. I can't see myself ever using HDMI. The
prospect of HDCP coming out of this thing scares me...
My question, though, is whether or not you've got the onboard Gig-E
working. It seems that CentOS5 (aka RHEL5 rebuild from SRPMS) doesn't
like it very much. Using an Ubuntu LiveCD works fine with it, but
CentOS 5 won't take it at all natively. When I install the (forked)
nvlan driver from nvidia.com and modprobe it, it yields a lot of:
kernel: drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: control queue full
messages, which is very strange. The MB comes with quite a few USB
ports, as well as a header. I've got 3 of the mains plugged in (usb,
usb -> serial adapter for my DCT-2000, and the mceusb receiver), and
when I use the onboard Gig-E, things go pear-shaped. When I use a
header-connected USB->Gig-E adapter (yuck!), it's fine...
And no, I'm not even about to consider moving it all to Ubuntu... I want
CentOS (RHEL) to *work*. ;)
What has your experience been? (And Jarod - are you listening? ;)
