Re: Is anyone completely happy with their Core2 motherboard?

My main compute server has an ABit AB9 Pro which is an awful board, it's
riddled with Linux incompatibilities. I managed to install FC6 last fall
but I can't install CentOS5. LMsensors can't read the CPU temperature,
and it has to use the Performance speed governor because it crashes with
the on-demand governor.

Is anyone completely happy with their Core2 motherboard? I'm looking for
a board where there are no install issues, LM sensors works, usermode and
ondemand speed governors work, and the Ethernet is fully supported.

My experience with the AB9 Pro has been fairly bad regardless of the OS.
They only Core 2 Duo motherboard I've been truly pleased with has been in
these systems:
