I purchased an MSI KT6 Delta-LSR motherboard with a Mushkin Basic Green
PC3200 512MB DIMM (non-bundled) from NewEgg several months ago. I'd
recommend it. I'm going to going an additional DIMM very shortly and
probably get a 3200+ processor before too long. It works just fine
under Linux. I can't speak about the sound and network, though, as I'm
not using them since I already had a sound card and network card I
liked. One potential gotcha, depending on how you want to use the
system and which kernel you want to run on it, is that the chipset's AGP
functionality isn't supported in 2.4 (at least not at the time, but I
doubt that's chnaged in the release or two since then), but it is in
2.6. On the plus side, it has six USB 2.0 ports built in and a header
for two more in the case. I have had no stability issues with it.
If you're interested, the NewEgg part numbers with which you can search
are 13-130-428 and 20-146-219. (The motherboard is only available
there, last I checked, as a refurb; I bought mine as a new product.)
