We (Pogo Linux) sold a customer a MSI K8T when they first came out, with 
the understanding that we hadn't done any R&D on it and the customer was 
going to be testing it out.  The customer had horrible results, and 
basically an unusable system in 64bit Linux.  However, recent purchasers 
of this board report that no problems are found.  Most likely it's due to 
an early revision that bios flashing cannot repair.

We (Pogo again) have since moved on and selected the Asus K8V Deluxe 
systemboard for our Athlon64 system.  This board offers a 3com GigE nic 
that works w/ Linux (sk98lin), two sets of SATA ports that work with Linux 
(sata_promise, sata_via), audio that works with Alsa, and a very fast 
platform.  The price isn't all that much different from the MSI K8T-Neo.

Thats my $0.02.
