All I can say about the Asus PC-DL is that it uses a Winbond W83627THF for hardware monitoring, which is well supported under both Linux 2.4 and 2.6 (except for the automatic fan speed control). Other than than I don't know the board so I cannot help. Good luck :) -- Jean Delvare http://khali.linux-fr.org/
