That was my main concern. Thanks for confirming that it works. BTW, the mobo says it has RTL8111E. Does that "E" matter much? Next up is the audio: Audio: VT1818 High Definition Audio 8-Channel CODEC I am expecting that the new SATA ( 6 Gbps) and USB 3.0 won't be a problem. -- Please reply to this list only.

Google and grep are no help either. >From google I have got a couple of links. One says the guy had problem with the audio (that was in may of this year) and the other says that the lan card had a problem with wake-on-lan stuff (which I am not going to use), which was fixed by downloading the source from the manufacturer's site and compiling the module. So I am assuming the SATA and USB stuff was working fine. >> I am expecting that the new SATA ( 6 Gbps) and USB 3.0 won't be a >> problem. -- Please reply to this list only.
