Avoid PC-Chips.
That's interesting - can you give more details?
I've had one board give very poor performance (M599LMR) and two PC-Chips boards fail under warranty. I know that's far from reliable proof, but I've not had that bad experience with any other maker. Driver support is only a little worse than some other boards.
I put a Tyan in a recent server and that works well, but you have to
Are/were there some issues with certain VIA chipsets and linuxfairly recently? More info/advice on that would be useful if anyone has some.
The tyan has VIA chipsets, as does my laptop. The only thing on the tyan that caused trouble after I found the drivers was the temperature sensing. The laptop has an endearing habit of going "Machine Check Exception" when a certain PCMCIA card is activated, but works otherwise.
