Anyone know of any AMD based AM3 motherboards which are known to be compatible with linux? Some good deals going on with phenom II x3 cpus right now, so I'm itching to get one.

on newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128378
Pros: -Great board with lots of nice features
-Chipset works out of the box with newer linux distros
-Boots fine (at lower speeds) with OCZ Reaper HPC 4GB (2 x 2GB) RAM
So, Gigabyte here I come!!

Well, since my current box pretty much up and died, I went out and got the above mentioned AM3 motherboard (GIGABYTE GA-MA790FXT-UD5) + Phenom II x3 720 cpu. Everything works great out of the box with linux and it screams compared to my previous Pentium 4. Now, if I could only get phoronix test suite to work with Arch 64 linux
