Hi, 

 I've playing around with an Gigabyte GA-965P-DS4, and it is currently working 
nice. I'm using Debian sarge/ xen 3.0.3. The processor was an E6400 and the 
system have 2Gb ram.

 I had problems with system stability, but i've solved it by testing bios 
settings and by replacing the onboard network adapter. It seemed to messup 
somewhat with the xen hipervisor, at leat the one from xen 3.0.2-2.

 I've not tested hvm, as I currently only run debian sarge based domU's.

 One thing to note, I was not able to install debian directly on the machine, 
so i've installed using another machine, the moved the harddisk.

Regards,
Hugo
