To be slightly on topic, have Linux distro users on this list, used motherboads manufactured by HIS, VIA,etc. (Not many have replied to Mr. Rony's question of compatible motherboard)

Yeah, my old P4 1.8 box has a HIS mobo with a VIA chipset. Worked just fine. Even this Sempron64 box has an MSI mobo with VIA chipset. Those VIA chipsets are cheap and fit my purpose very well.

The only glitch I have with this new mobo, is that the Unichrome chip wasn't properly supported by Xorg. I think the drivers have improved with Xorg 7. But by the time that came out, I had put in an NVIDIA card anyway...
