Hi,

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 :).
Ah, are two of the four ethx interfaces really the firewire port? I
wondered what they were.
Do you use the pro-audio overlay? I was, with rt-sources 2.6.16-29rt I
think, and had very regular lockups, just starting rosegarden for
instance, and zynaddsubfx falling over after playing a few notes.
I had some teething troubles but other than hydrogen crashing once,
64-studio has been rock solid and the performance has been excellent,
although I have to admit I haven't tried running it with an smp linux
image yet. I will be doing that this weekend and hope to give it a good
thrashing.
