I have to go along with the other person who replied to your message. Â Stay away from ASUS. Â Their support for Linux doesn't exist. Â In fact, when one tells a support person he is using Linux, from that moment on the rep is trying to get off the phone. Â Downright rude.
I do not see why you all say to stay away from asus boards. so what that they do not seem linux friendly. I have had way more better preformance from my asus motherboards with linux then with windows on them. I have uses asus mbs for years with none of the problems you seem to be having. mine last server ran for better part of a year without any hiccups an only went down when it did because of power outage. my current one is a 64 bit asus mb an preforms just fine. jack
I've had a long series of problems with ASUS boards about 4 years ago. Would put them in a box and they would smoke. Sent them back for replacement and the replacements would smoke. Finally told the vendor to take the next replacement and build a computer around it. Then test it. They did. And when I received it, it smoked out of the box. I've since switched to Intel boards and would never ever buy another ASUS board. Haven't had a single problem since.
