my GA-6BXDS works great for me (Dual PII/350, 128MB 100MHz ram,
Millenium G200 AGP, SCSI disk, cdrom, cd/rw, UDMA disk, eepro100) -
never an oops except under one particular kernel rev under a swapfest
(massive memory problem in some gnome app - filled 128 MB of
swap).
Works great under Linux, worked fine under NT when I had it installed,
runs BeOS very well. No complaints.
YMMV,
Brendan
