I cannot speak of ECC memory or of SMP (yet!!!) but I own a P2B-DS and it
works wonderfully with 3.2-STABLE. I highly recommend it. Make sure to 
download BIOS 1009 and FLASH that sucker first before installing (if you
are installing from before 3.2-RELEASE code ... dunno how you planned on
installing).

Quite well supported. I had some probe lockups early in 3.0 and 3.1 when
I first got the board but since there have been fixes and more importantly
fixes in the Adaptec BIOS (contained in the MB bios 1009) I've had zero
problems.
