I am not using the ata interfaces except for cd-rom since I am SCSI based so
I can't comment on linux and ata-100/raid issues, but I wanted to say, that
this combo seems to work very well for me.  I upgaded a server from the BP6
(which still had reliability issues) to this board and didn't have any PCI
related issues and stability has been rock solid.  The AMD processors run
hot, but they are easily overclockable and I have run a duron 650 ($60) to
950 and a an athlon 700 ($130) to 950.  I clocked both chips back to their
default because they were running close to 50 degrees c, but ran fine for a
couple of hours. Since I didn't need the extra speed and didn't want the
extra heat, back down they went (still hot by Intel standards). 

The new ABIT menus allow you turn off all of the ide channels and set just
about everything through the soft menus now.  I Never thought I would be
interested in AMD products, but this combo (for its price) is very nice.

I find it interesting that AMD can make a chip that can run 20 degrees c
hotter than INTEL and still function?  How can they do that?  Intel cpus
seem delicate in comparison.
