Depends what you want to do with it!

- updates were needed to have the IDE and ethernet controllers fully
  recognised.  These changes are in -current (and maybe 1.4.3 and
  1.5?).  The ethernet probes as fxp0 but uses unpky, not inphy.
  Trivial diffs are below.

- to use the onboard video controller with XFree86 needs some kernel
  module; there is such a thing for Linux and I've seen mention of a
  NetBSD port.  If you use this you probably want to add the cache
  memory too.

- there is only one serial port.  The second exists, but has no
  connector, and the motherboard I received didn't come with a cable
  to bring it out.

- the onboard audio might not be supported (I don't care and haven't
  investigated)

- only two DIMMs are supported when running memory at 133MHz as
  I expect you'd like to do with a PIII.  Only 512MB total is
  supported too -- that's life with Intel's "desktop" chipsets.

I run one as a server in a cupboard using a Celeron CPU and it's fine.
The documentation for the board is on Intel's website: search for
"D815EEA".

Giles
