I like it. I'm running with two 466's (not overclocked); they run at 38
degrees C according to lm_sensors. It's been more or less stable, with
only occasional lockups during heated Civ: CTP games (usually at exactly
the _wrong_ moment). I'm pretty sure that the stability problems are
due to the sound card (Ensoniq AudioPCI) and the older version of the
ALSA drivers I'm using, and not the motherboard, since the lockups only
occur when I'm doing something with sound.
Overall, it's a cheap, stable, and fast combo (It easily beats a dual
PII-400 system, which costs about $100 more).
N.B. The first BP6 I got flaked out completely after about 15 minutes
of use, so if you buy one, make sure the vendor won't give you a hassle
if you happen to get one with a manufacturing defect.
