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.
