It's a MSI Intel P35 Neo board.  Its pretty good as it will take a Core 2
Quad chip (when prices come down) and upto 8GB of Ram with 4 slots :-)  (

I have tried every distro under the Sun, but they all say they can't find
the CD drive after initially booting from it.  According to 'google' lots of
Ubuntu people have had problem with this board.  Some say it's a problem
with OnLite DVD drives so I even tried with a different brand but still no
joy.  I have also tried a network install of SLED10 but again the installer
does not find the onboard network card.

It runs Windows lovely though ;-)
