I have a Systemax AMD XP 1700+ (Gigabyte MoBo, 512MB PC2100 RAM) and so far
have had no problems that can blamed on it. It's owner can be blame quite a
bit however. 8-{>
I've made some dumb mistakes but the board has been very nice. I do have to
say the on-board sound sux. It's weak and lack luster. I'd spring for an
older Sound Blaster Live Value PCI card if I were you. I don't know how
hard they are to get in Hungary though. Anyhoo, that's my experience so
far.
