I would make sure (if you are going to use an msi board that the
capacitors are not made in taiwan go for the japanese made ones. There
is a lawsuit against msi for bad capacitors but you can google it

I just installed the gentoo on an MSI Neo2 Ultra based on the NForce3
chipset.
It seems to work fine. In order to use the LiveCD I had to send the
"noapic"
switch to the kernel otherwise the builtin network card didn't work.
Once I
built my own kernel the machine flies. I too am using SATA (no RAID)
and haven't
had to do anything special to make it all work.
