 has the review of ASUS A7V and several others, but I
 could not find A7S-VM. The best thing for you to do is
 to ask the tech support of ASUS (ie. tsd "-at-" asus.com).
 The motherboard manufacters should tell us whether
 Linux is supported or not, this would save a lot of
 trouble.
 Also, if you want to run simulations over and over,
 you should install a batch system, which will schedule
 another job to the node where a job finishes
 execution.
 (So that you don't need to do this by hand)
 SGE 5.2.3 binary: www.sun.com/gridware
 SGE 5.3 source+binary: gridengine.sunsource.net
 PBS: www.openpbs.com
 PBSPro: www.pbspro.com
 Both are free, and come with source!
