FWIW: dmesg attached from a Gigabyte 965G-DS3... it's an older board
now, with a Core 2 Quad Q6600 CPU. Still does full i386 builds in
under an hour, in-tree Xorg runs fine, although no full DRM/DRI yet.
And I don't believe I have seen the msk0 hanging problems since
plugging it into a gigabit switch. Running current-amd64 as of
2009-01-01. Quite happy with it, so far.
