I've gotten a couple of the newest prototype AMD systems, with the C34
and G34 sockets. All have run various flavors of OpenSolaris quite
well, with the exception of a couple of flaky network problems, which
we've tracked down to pre-production NIC hardware and early-access
drivers. This is a similar problem I see all the time on prototype
Intel stuff. The problems go away when we put in production-ready NIC
cards (even when such NIC cards have the same actual chip series, the
bugs inevitably are nailed to the beta-level original NIC chips).
So I would NOT expect any problems if your MB passes the Device Check
tool (or whatever we're calling it nowadays).
Bit of a chicken and egg that, isn't it?
You need to run the tool to see if the board's worth buying and you need
to buy the board to run the tool!
