        I know a lot of people like the ASUS P2B boards, but I've noticed a
tendency for the systems to reset occasionally when plugging in a keyboard.
I've seen this with both FreeBSD and NT, so I'm considering it a property
of the board.

        I've had great results with the Tyan 1836DLUAN/Thunder 100's.  
I've got several boxes with 1GB of RAM and dual 450's humming along.  For
comparison one system with less memory and a SuperMicro board but identical
system software has had a couple of wierd spontaneous reboots over the last
few months.
