Hi all.

My son's PC died (Bad caps) so he's getting my old one (Asus A8V with
AMD64 3200) and I'm going to buy a new motherboard & a 4200 X2
processor. The question is, what's a good motherboard nowadays for
AMD64 x2 processors?

I have used an Asus A8VE in the past with gentoo, and apart from a few
problems with ethernet it worked fine (Not mine, I installed it for
someone else). But the A8Ve doesn't appear to be available any more,
so I need to find a current one that's good with Linux.

Does anyone have any recommendations? The reviews at linuxhardware.org
seem a bit dated, and no-one else really seems to say much except
windoze windoze windoze...

The only specs I really have are amd64 x2, enough PCI slots (at least
4) and PCI-express for graphics (Might as well move up while I"m at
it). And needs both PATA & SATA, GigE and decent sound... (i.e. a good
replacement for the A8V/A8Ve boards).

Oh... Horror stories welcomed too. At least I'll know what to avoid
from those:)

TIA

Hamish.
