Well the above has a VIA K8T800 and that is why I think I might use
it next. I have a Gigabyte GA-K8NS and running 5.3-STABLE. I bought
it on the spur of the moment.

Also I have a company that want a AMD64 754 and so I will use rather
the ASUS then the Nvidea3 that is on the Gigabyte. At least I will
keep away from it.
