Just avoid motherboards with the onboard NVIDIA 7050PV chipset.  That
one is buggy as fsck.  As soon as I have the $ for a new video board,
I'm _totally_ getting one.

The 7050PV has a tendency to cause very odd hardware lockups.  I can't
ever troubleshoot because I can't even SSH in when things start to go
wrong, and my system lights light-up like a friggin christmas tree.
