Running the Gigabyte GA 7N400 Pro2 for the last 6 months with no
problems. This mobo uses a RealTek 8169 Gbit lan, and not the nforce
NIC, so I did not need to use the close-sourced drivers from Nvidia.
The Nvidia driver for the sound chip actually worked worse than the
standard intel8x0 driver that the installed configured.
I also have the Radeon 9200, and it works well for 2D, and just fair for
3D with the XFree86 drivers.
