Yes, just fine.  I have a few dozen of the socket 939 version in
production without issue.

I have the M2NPV-VM board in a couple of machines; it should be pretty
much the same thing except it's uATX.  There are some minor issues:

The sound only works with more recent Fedora kernel updates and, at
least on FC5, require that you add this to /etc/modprobe.conf:

   options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 model=3stack

If you're planning to use CPU frequency scaling and the onboard
graphics (at least the -VM board has both analog and DVI), be aware
that the screen glitches very slightly when the clock speed changes.
(The CPU will clock down to 1GHz when idle, which is very nice for
noise, heat output and power consumption.)

Also, note that you may need to disable rhgb and/or force X to use a
software cursor because there's a bug in the open source NV driver
that causes the hardware cursor to disappear.
