Not sure about this board, but if it has "dual" banks for RAM (something 
like that where RAM is parallel), I've heard of some boards not working 
with the 2.4 series kernel - not sure about 2.5+

The address above is wrong, subtract the wh to get my correct address.

I use an NF7-S with 2 0.5G banks of 2700 and an XP2700+ - 2.4.20 kernel.
My only comment would be the 3700 memory - AMD works best with a 
'synchronous' memory interface - I don't think you can achieve that with 
3700 memory UNLESS you can overclock.  Carefully review any benchmarks 
that you can find - my configuration has been shown to run 3% faster :-) 
(per my recollection) with 2700 DDR than with 3200 DDR (the fastest 
option when I built my system about 10 months ago).

    I have a P4C800-E-DLX with 2 SATA harddrives mounted as RAID 0 using the
ICH5R chip (I think there is the same on the P4P800 but unsure).

    Today I can't install linux on it due to SATA+RAID0 (not the motherboard
itself)

You will need to go to the asus website and download the linux drivers for 
the Integrated sound card and gigabit ethernet. Other than that, I have had 
no problem with it.

I got the P4 2.4GHz 800FSB w/ HyperThreading and it is just friggin' 
sweet.
