This is not really going to help you since your specification was for AMD processors only but... the SS51G/SS51G1 work well if you disable APIC/MPS, there's something weird with the SiS chipset requiring you to do so. The SB51G, SB61G2, SB62G2, SB65G2 systems with an Intel manufactured chip- set work well with and without Hyper Threading, with both PATA and SATA (ICH5 controller) drives. I've deployed a considerable amount of the above mentioned systems and have had little problems with them. After installation they simply work :) // kaj
