I received one of those earlier today and will be putting it into my case pretty soon ... please share any solutions that you may find to problems that may arise. I don't care if I can't use any of the peripherals until Mandrake 9.1 comes out, I have a sound card, controller card and a usb 2.0 card. However, if it doesn't even boot, ... then any advice will indeed be gratefully accepted .-) I guess I'll find out this weekend how it goes :-) Narfi.
