We use the 965 based boards for many of our servers and they work fine - the only gotchas I have come across has been the onboard IDE controller is a Marvell ATA controller, and not supported by the drivers in 6.2-RELEASE. I made a back-port of the -CURRENT driver to 6.2 some months ago and have not had any problems (although the CD-ROM connected to said IDE channel is only used for the installation process!). I would imagine that the driver is likely present in 6-STABLE and the upcoming 6.3 release later this year. --Antony
