At work we have a whole bunch of Gigabyte Dual P!!! systems and they work ok
under LINUX (just used as cluster machines) but some of them have Win2k
running on them and I have encountered the following problems.
USB will not work.
One of the CPU's constantly reports 65%-80% usage when there is very very
little happening.
So I am not very impressed with them.
The VIA chipsets we have are running very well and now the onboard sound is
working under LINUX as well.
