Asus K8V-X SE - socket 754. I don't know if I got a defective one, but
it's been a problem. The network fails periodically, the USB is flaky,
and apparently the AGP bus is hosed. I updated the BIOS but the
problems persisted.

There is a similar one (AFAICT identical one) for $3 more with a
slightly different part number.
I'll post the Socket A mobo later today if I get a chance; it's a
no-name cheapie but it works amazingly well.
