Tim et al, I have an Intel DH77EB motherboard running OI 151a7, and it's 
working ok with its onboard graphics.  I haven't played with USB or 
audio on it at all though.  It's current hardware, with current Seagate 
HDD's running a ZFS root mirror with the drives playing properly wrg 
sector sizes.  It didn't want to install at first - grub didn't see the 
64 bit side of things but once I told grub to boot 64 bit all was well.
