I have this kind of motherboard inside a Hush B3.
It takes time at the beginning to work. Most of the part are working
except the network (RTL8111B).
The solution is to upgrade your kernel to at least 2.6.22.6, to have the
working r8169 kernel module.
Since network issue is solved, this motherboard is working great.
I don't have tested graphics and RAID.
