[ale] k7s5a motherboard

[Geoffrey]

I did get the k7s5a mb and it appears everything is supported.  I've got 
sensors working, the intergrated nic and sound to some extent.  There's 
actually a page on this particular board and linux someone put together.

Question though.  It appears my cpu is running hot.  Sensors say the max 
is 45C and it's now at 44, it was at 46 yesterday and I shut the box 
down.  I've got a heatsink/fan on the cpu as well as one fan in the 
front of the box pulling air in and the ps fan pulling it out.  I added 
another fan last night to pull air out the back, but I'm still running 
on the edge of the limits.

The box did lock up the other day for no apparent reason.  I assume it 
might be a heat issue.  Interestingly enough, it had been running for a 
couple of days 24 hours with no problems, but the sides were not 
assembled, which could have provided some heat relief.  I think I'll 
pull the sides off again and see if the temp drops.

I do have one fan pulling air in and two pulling it out, so I guess I 
could look at adding another to pull air in, although I'd have to either 
modify the case or add one of those slot fans.

Suggestions would be appreciated.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
