but had problems with the SATA stuff (I got it installed by adding the
all_generic_ide, and then installing.  When it updated, I was able to get it
running without the option.  Unfortunately, when I installed the NVidia
driver there was flicker in X, and the sound was completely garbled.  I then
installed Fedora 9, and got everything mostly installed, and working,
mostly.  Unfortunately, I still get crackling on the sound, and the X
performance is very bad (even with the NVidia proprietary driver), and
sometimes it doesn't even play back HD video correctly.

Has anybody gotten the 8200 motherboards working properly?
