Martin:

I've recently installed Gigabyte GA-7N400-L. 

Using Sempron 2300+. 

The sound works with ALSA.

I use my old PCI 3Com network card.  

The trouble I had was the AGP slot.  I ended up with Radeon 9250 using the
SDD/LE drivers and the 9200 series drivers.  

Its a socket A MB.

I do not use the IDE interface.  My system is all SCSI.

The USB hardware seems to work fine.

Regards,
-Mark
