v6.3 works great on this board & 2.5" SATA HDD, very happy with this setup. Haven't tried v7.x yet though.
I did have to add a small fan to the CPU though, as stuffing this board in a miniITX case didn't allow enough airflow for the passive heatsink. CPU is a Celeron 220 1.2ghz 512k 533mhz FSB "Conroe-L" 64-bit compatible. I've got the fan turned way down; system & CPU stay in the mid 40's C.
No power issues either running with a 19v 4.5A (90w) wall adapter (you will need the 2x2 12v P4 power connector though for this board). It won't boot with just the standard 2x10 ATX plugged in, even though it only pulls about 35w.
Onboard 10/100 lan works fine as well (recognized as Intel SiS 900 PCI Ethernet).
Performance-wise, it slaughters the Via C7 EN15000 I previously had. After pricing this new comer out, I figured what the heck, at worst I'd have a nice board for a small NAS, at best it'd run ASG.
Board: $65 D201GLY2 (Get the D201GLY2A "for active" as it comes with a processor fan). Ram: $20 (DDR2-533 1GB) HDD: $45 Hitachi SATA 60GB 5400rpm.
While I haven't installed the monitoring software on my APC Smart unit to see what this setup is pulling, a few of the review sites put it idling at 32w from the wall.
