This is written on a MSI K8T NEO FSR with AMD64 3.2

Works out the box with SuSE9.1 32-bit and 64 bit. Everyting is detected and installed,
network, USB, sound and SATA drives. Everything works out the box with
SuSE 9.0 except SATA is not supporetd by the kernel.

I would stay away from ECS boards. Quality varies wildly from model to
model and over time.

MSI, ASUS, Aopen are the big boys with Iwill and Gigabyte in the second
tier.
