I'll second that... after buying into all of the hype on the BP6, I was sadly disappointed when I was left with a terribly unstable machine (this was before the "fix-it-all" latest BIOS upgrade and I've since gotten rid of the board). Unfortunately, the whole experience has soured SMP for me. I am hoping that should I decide to build another dual Celeron machine around an ASUS dual board, it'll be no less stable than any of the single CPU ASUS boards I've used with Linux.
