That's what I replaced my Live! with in my A7M266-D. Red Hat automagically detects and configures it. Try using onboard audio (if you have it) instead of your Live! to see if that clears up your stability problems. If it does, then you can worry about finding a card that sounds decent :-). Actually, you may have a good excuse to buy a nice nForce2 board. The ALSA Project drivers work well with it (see http://shrike.freshrpms.net). nVidia's own audio drivers, including the new April 14th drivers, aren't RH9 compatible yet, but their network driver is if you build it from the source tarball. Just make sure you get one of the higher-end boards that use nVidia's onboard audio if you go this route (ASUS A7N8X Deluxe in my case).
