I've had an AX6BC for 1 1/2 yrs now and a Matrox G200 and Voodoo2 and 128 Ram.
It's by far the most stable system I have ever had.
One thing though. My mic picks up the whine fron the fan and the Hdd accessing
noises and makes Internet phoning a bit of a pain. I was inclined to blame the
motherboard. But I never got to the bottom of it. Perhaps someone could throw
some light on it.
