I was thinking the same few years ago, but on two Asus boards two had problems.
K8V-X SE is the board I have now, it's very bad choice for Linux, it
crashes very often when starting X (with DRI) - it's related to buggy
BIOS and AGP.
On another board SATA was supported after few months and there was
constant problem with network (there was long discussion about it on
LKML) - networking was working after boot but stops working after a
while. It was never fixed, so I don't use this board anymore.
