Agree, manufacturers are hidding these "advanced specs" (sigh...) to the
users so when you find a board of you liking, just directly ask them
about this.

Asus used to be in my list but since my good P2B-S and CUV4X (both for
Pentium III) I've only read but problems and issues with their new boards
and Linux. You know, all that fancy "turbo-mega-hyper-silent-green-dual-
bios-fast-recovery" stuff that can indeed work fine when you load the
Windows drivers ;-P
