Mark,
I've been running a P5A-B with K6-3 400 for over a year with no problems
tracable to the board. Caldera eDesktop had some weird stuff
with the sound and some other, but SuSE 6.4 & 7.0, and Mandrake
7.0 and 7.1 all ran without a hitch. I've had two CD RW/RW drives
in it, an HP which died and now a Zip650 which installed seamlessly.
The ASUS Socket 7 boards seem to have gotten a bit lower on prices
since the Socket A's came out.
Good Luck, it's as solid and compatable as they come.
Bob
