I can't offer any review of the hardware you are looking at, but I can say what experience I have had of an Intel 875P based mainboard which is in a Dell Dimension I've just bought. Specification: http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/875P/ Everything seems to work with recent -CURRENT with the exception of the integrated sound which works with a patch available in Gnats. The performance is excellent, I have a 2.6GHz P4 with HT in this machine and it certainly flies.
