16 Choices of System Frequency ranging from 66MHz up to 150MHz As you can see the motherboard is packed full of goodies. The motherboard worked well straight out of the box with a vanilla 2.2.16 kernel. To get some of the extra features some more options needed to be compiled in. The motherboard and Linux worked very very well together and unlike some manufacturers there were no real headaches involved in getting it up and running.
Installation of this motherboard was straight forward and sat nicely in the ATX case.
