Pros: Very, very quiet hard drive. Bought this to replace a toshiba drive I'd bought here 2 or 3 years ago. Runs well in my HP Omnibook 500.

Cons: Had to do net boot in order to load OS!

Overall Review: Runs Ubuntu 6.06LTS quite well. Might try Xubuntu in near future since this is older laptop.

Great upgrade!

Pros: This mobo was an ez fit in new case. Drivers were ez to load from CD & works just fine w/o any problems. Might buy a 2nd to upgrade my Linux box.

Cons: Re-loading Windows! No 1394 connection on mobo!

Overall Review: Would recommend buying this mobo to anyone!
