dual PIII 133MHz FSB motherboards

[Bill Comisky]

I'm currently looking into dual PIII 133MHz FSB motherboards for a
diskless cluster connected by fast ethernet.  I've narrowed the field a
bit, and am looking for testimonials on any of the motherboards listed
below.  Any comments on Linux compatibility, stability, and performance
will be greatly appreciated.

Also, if anyone has rack mounted any of these, what rackmount case height
did they fit in?  Realize that for those boards without integrated NIC a
card must be added (how much height will this add?).  All boards listed
are for socket 370.  The prices listed are pricewatch.com low end.
