Intel x965 chipset based motherboards (Intel DG965SS here) are  
limited to feisty and up. Almost no way to boot them with a kernel  
earlier than 2.6.18. Even with a 2.6.20 kernel, parallel ATA drives  
still can boot but aren't recognized later, last time I checked. SATA  
is to be preferred anyways, though.

This board's GMA X3000 works great for me. Didn't check 3D in Linux,  
but in Linux, reolution is much better than in Windows XP (up to  
1600x1200 pixel) and 3D in XP is surprisingly fast.
