The current issue of c't magazine (German) has a less than favourable
review on that board. The chipset fan is apparently rather noisy, and
there are stability problems with 3D and MPEG acceleration. Linux does
run, they don't specifically mention stability of the graphics chip on
Linux, however. Furthermore, although it's an AM2+ board, you can't run
it with any of the currently available Phenom chips, as it's only
specified for up to 65W.
