        I have absolutely no problem with the Tyan K8W model, an ATI 9600
with Xorg 1.1 (the free driver), and a RME multiface. I'm particularly
satisfied with this motherboard, everything works perfectly with Gentoo,
once you have understood, when installing, that you want to do network
with the ethernet card and not with the firewire interface :).
