Does anyone here use coreboot?

[Andrew Kane]

My motherboard is an Asus A8N-SLI with an Athlon X2 64 proc. I have
8GB RAM installed, but the kernel can only use about 3.2GB. I have
solved this problem by tweaking BIOS settings, but at the expense of
having both my (built in) network adapters stop working.

I've been considering using coreboot and nuking the BIOS. I would, of
course, ensure that I have the ability to re-flash the manufacturer's
BIOS image before I attempt this.

I'm just writing to see if anyone here has attempted to use coreboot
on a regular desktop system before, and to solicit the advice of wiser
heads.

Thanks to you all for general awesomeness.
