I've got the ASUS one. I would say that nowdays there isnt any point
getting dual athlon boards given their slow performance relative to a modern

I did find it very sensitive to BIOS version, PCI cards and also RAM quality.
And finally except for very recent Tyan BIOSes you need a PS/2 mouse connected
to avoid IDE lockups
