Only one 'however' and it's kernel related - to do with reassigning IRQs during boot up. The kernel deals with this and just carries on regardless. === For your interest a good test of a mother board is to locate, aquire,steal, borrow or of coarse d/l Knoppix. It's run-off-the-cd system. Real fast, Real Smart, Debian based (I think). I used it on the several boards I was 'offered' before I chose this pretty one. The test criteria was simply if Knoppix booted through sweetly and there where no issues playing with the many apps on the cd - then it was a in contention! Oddly, the Soltex and Gigabyte were the only ones which passed, NONE of the PCChips boards passed, price (and colour) ruled in the end! Cheers John
