I don't want to add unnecessary noise, but since you
asked..

I've been a lurker on this list for this very reason. 
I am monitor the progress of the drivers for the G965
motherboard.  I'm planning on buying it soon both
because of its features and the open-source drivers. 
Thanks for everyone's hard work, and thanks to Intel
for providing open drivers!

Sincerely,
Dan Waineo
