I wound up with the Microstar MB. I tried 4 different copies of the
FIC MBs but couldn't get any of them to run reliably (most often I got
various random errors in gcc when building the kernel or doing a make
world). Since switching to the Microstar MB my 650MHz Athlon system has
been rock solid (for about 4 weeks now) running 4.0-current.

I don't believe that are any problems with the K7 processor,
but some of the cheaper motherboards have been known to
have issues with the keyboard and stability. Go with a
Asus board or something from a decent vendor and it should
work fine.

I had to replace a dimm, but no problems other than that
