Yeah, we've had several generations of intel motherboards that we've used for
desktops with Centos (EL4), Tao (EL3), and Red Hat before that (815, 845, 865,
915, and we're eval-ing a 945-based system right now). For the most part,
they Just Work (tm). Intel's alsa drivers don't work with the (newest) 945
system. Also, you'll need to install/compile drivers if you want to use the
integrated graphics on the 9x5G mobos, but intel's driver works with all the
systems we've tried it on.
