A., I have the IWILL KA266 motherboard (that I got from micropro.com...) and it works just fine with the 2.4.x kernels. At home, however, I have a motherboard with the AMD760 chipset (an FIC AD11, I wish slightly that I'd gotten the DFI motherboard) that also works with the 2.4.x kernels - and it is far better at taking advantage of DDR memory for number crunching applications (both from my own benchmarks (20% better), and from www.tomshardware.com. For most things, however, it has very similar performance as the IWILL. If at all possible, it is worth getting an AMD chipset to go with the DDR memory. But micropro doesn't carry them...you might call them and ask if they could order it. Both of these motherboards are around $100-125 - I have nothing fancy on these, however.
