I'm running an Asus A7N8X-X here.  There are a couple of different releases of 
this model, including a "Delux" model, but I haven't found anybody who knows 
what the difference is.

Anyway, they run the Nvidia nForce2 400 chipset.  It appears to work just 
fine, but there are some Linux drivers that are only configured for RedHat 
7.3 and SuSE 8.0.  There's also an on-board Nvidia version of a 3Com 3c95x 
NIC that doesn't run with the standard drivers.

That said the system runs fine with the standard Mandrake 9.2 kernels.  
Performance is very good (almost as fast as Win95!).
