ASUS SK8V and ASUS SK8N - SuSE says only partially compliant, but I get the on-board LAN and the sound just perfectly. I don't have SATA drives, so turned the Promise SATA controllers off in CMOS.

Opteron 150 and Athlon 3600 (same chip, I am given to understand)

2GB Registered ECC

N'vidia 5600 - not great screen res yet on a iiyama AU4831D, but would likely be fixed if I wanted to compile the latest nvidia driver.

Matrox Parahelia is no good for reasons I cannot yet parse. Stuck it in the Windows machine I never connect to the Net where it works great.

The << apsupsd >> works perfectly, but use the documentation to set it up.

Had a problem with user access to the CD-RW and DVD. Resolved by setting << chmod 777 /media/cdwriter >> and << chmod 777 /media/dvd >>. This is low risk since keep no media in the drive when not actually using the drive.

don't know what other info to provide

Would be nice to have around for all considering buying stuff.

Single / dual / X-cpu systems Mainboard RAM Chipset All the info you'd like to add

Plz let me/others know how you dealt with problems if you had any

(And yes ... I'll probably buy a AMD64/Opteron myself in the near future)
