Anyone encountered any problems/caveats with said MB, CPU and Linux, in

I just bought an Abit AB9 Pro which is a Core2 board and I'm not
particularly happy with it. LM sensors doesn't work with this board,
probably because they did something non-standard to support their uGuru
crap which is a Windows only feature that allows you to overclock the
board from Windows. My A64 systems both use MSI boards, the MSI K8N Neo2
Platinum and the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum. I've been very happy with both of
those boards, they are both 100% Linux compatible and they've been rock
solid. My recommendation is that you get the latest Nforce MSI board, I
think it's the K9N Platinum.
