[Gloucs] Asrock mainboard?

[Mark Trotman]

Hi folks,

Has anyone here had the opportunity to use the Asrock(1) K7S8XE 
mainboard with Linux? I've searched all the usual places and have come 
up with zilch in terms of reviews or compatibility listings (2).

The reason for asking is that there is, on the face of it, a good deal 
on eBay at the moment - an AMD XP2600+ proc. & mainboard for less that 
113 quid! The board utilizes the SIS 748 chipset which consists of the 
SIS 748 Northbridge and the SIS 963L Southbridge so I'm wondering if 
Linux will be happy with it (or not). I haven't been able to find out 
whether Linux is SIS 748 compatible either.

Any thoughts/info/suggestions would be gratefully received.

Thanks in advance.
