I have never even heard of the brand. In my book that is a bad thing since if I haven't heard of it, it is probably too obscure (at least in this part of the world) to have particularly good support. Maybe too simplistic a view, but it has served my well for many years when buying computer hardware. > That makes me become suspicious. Am i the only one using this Board and > if so why?

Usually when acpi doens't work, it is due to bugs in the bios's acpi implementation. Usually this requires a bios upgrade to fix, once the maker of the system is willing to admit that they made a mistake by only testing against windows rather than following the acpi spec.
