It's not possible to rate a system by working out-of-the-box, that depends very much on the installation image. On my system Leo4All V3 was working perfect (or were the X1600Pro gfx drivers not working?), but now the image is rather old and wouldn't support my HD2600XT, iDeneb worked too, but there were some other problems, iPC wasn't installing audio drivers, no gfx drivers for the X1600Pro. The last image I tested, XxX 10.5.6 Final 2, is working perfectly, but it isn't installing audio drivers and you have to know which additional options to select. And it's also depending on the drivers, forcedeth or forcedeth-v for nForce LAN was unstable, nForceLAN works perfect.

These are my boards:

Asus A8N-E FM/S - 100%, although it is an Fujitsu-Siemens OEM board
Asus A8N-SLI Premium - 99.9% - SiI3114 not supported
Asus K8N-E Deluxe - 99.9% - SiI3114 not supported
Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe- 100%, but not in use.

In Tiger 10.4.7 my SiliconImage SiI3114 onboard controllers were supported by a modified AppleVIAATA.kext, in Leopard it isn't working anymore. But I don't need it anyway, so it's 100% at least for me. The K8N-E Deluxe is a AMD Socket 754/nForce 3-250/AGP board, but it has the same onboard components as the Premium, so it should work. I'm using on all boards ATI Radeon HD2600XT cards, AGP and PCI-E versions.

2 Opteron systems: OSx86 10.5.8, Andy's 9.8.0 kernel, Asus A8N-SLI Premium, Opteron 185 o'clocked @ 2 x 2,95 GHz (2nd system 2.6 GHz), ATI Radeon HD2600XT 256MB Dual-Monitor 2x HP L2035, 4 GB RAM, Griffin FireWave as main audio device, Marvell + nForce LAN, Asus U3S6 USB3/SATA6 card, 5,5 TB harddisk, Firewire 800 card, Apple Remote + eHome IR receiver, 2x Wacom serial graphics tablet, Canon Pixma iP4700, Logitech Internet Navigator wireless keyboard/mouse combination.
