	I have an Asus A8N-SLI (nforce4) Motherboard based box running=20
	5-STABLE for some time now. Issues are :
	x ACPI (quite common),
	x Sound (not much a problem since I have an Emu10K1 based sound=20
	card which is far better),
	x Network (sk0 works fine, but not should-be-nv0),
	x USB (no clue, I'm not using it ATM but firewire works).

	The system is totally usable, I have a Geforce 6600 PCI-E and=20
	the whole thing runs Xorg 6.8.2 with nv driver. I'm totally=20
	happy with it.

	As Dag-Erling said, it'll be good if you were not giving false=20
	information and better (my opinion), as re-amd64@ if you were=20
	trying to get better relationship with Nvidia.
