I'm leaning towards scrappung my Ass motherboard for having a LOT of Linux

I want something that is highly Linux frendly and "just works".
The via k8t800 based boards has "just worked" from day 1 for me going back
to my socket 754 athlon 64 3000+ which is now fairly old.
As a brdige chipset it's starting to show it's age since it's agp rather
than pci-x.
Running Athlon 64 X2 4400+
Needs 4 SATA ports - prefer SATA II
VGA on MB would be nice but not required.
MUST run with 4 gigs of ram. I have Kingston HyperX which should be plenty
fast.
I sort of afraid of running machines with 4GB or more of ram without ecc
memory, but that could be a personal fetish... at this level that argues
in favor of a socket 940 rather than 939.
I'm running Fedora Core 4 on it.
I'm Running Maxtor drives that support NCQ even though the SATA interface is
1.5gb
I don't need raid.
most of the amd64 systems I build are for servers and most of those have
tyan mainboards at this point.
I'm sort of fascinated with the asrock/uli chipset mainboards that's
floating around but I have actually splurged yet, and I haven't had a uli
chipset mainboard since my cyrix 5x86mx 100 died a couple years ago.
