I saw one good and one bad. Looks like it's catch as catch can....
I've had pretty good luck with the ECS boards I've bought. The only
sticky problem I had was with some cheap memory I bought in tandem with
one about three years ago. Of course, this will be the first time I've
tried Linux on one, but the bad review said it just needed the APIC
disabled, so I'll see how it works and let everyone know.

I plan to test it as thoroughly as I know how - can you (or anyone here)
recommend any good benchmarks that would exercise the system?
