Works fine!

Running with 64bit Core Duo (E6550) in 64bit mode and all is good. I have had mixed success with suspend and hibernate but hope to get this to work consistently. I was getting a warning on boot regarding CPU Microcode as the MoBo was not familiar with the newer CPU version but a BIOS update via USB thumb drive fixed that. Intel graphics works well but the G33 is only supported with the later versions of the graphics driver.

The PREMIUM edition work good with Gusty Gibbon

This product works on Ubuntu 6.10, but scroll screen is very slow in many application: Office, Firefox etc.

And now with Ubuntu 7.10, I can not install the system: Display has 800x600 as resolution, I can not read buttons during install (button under out of screen); sound discontinue etc.

I can get live CDs to work fine. However when I try to install, the Partition Manager creates the partitions fine but corrupts the disk when formating. (I have two SATA disks and have Vista installed already, both disk work fine.)

os finds the 4 sata disks fine but cannot seem to find the two ide disks. also sound card requires additional effort to get going and still no luck getting the ethernet up n running. Time to try a different os :(

Debian GNU/Linux "Etch" seems not to support SATA on this board.
