I have an Asus A7V333 and an Asus A7V266. They've acted fine. I have only
two complaints: (1) I have not found any way on the A7V333 (Maybe on the
A7V266 too? Don't remember.) to read the temperatures/fan speeds/voltages
from within Linux. I have to reboot and ask the BIOS, and hope it doesn't
change too much before I get there. (2) the onboard sound on the A7V333
isn't worth beans. (There was no way to _not_ get it.) Good thing I
already had a sound card.
