how reliable is the shuttle SN41G2 V3 or V2?

i'm running a chaintech 7NIL1 and its driving me insane. i looked into other motherboards where i could move my stuff onto, and I came across this. the features are what I am looking for, and i think it looks awesome.

i just don't want configuration h3ll any more.

i have
retail athlon xp 2500+ (barton)
radeon 9700 pro (original built by ATi)
2 maxtor pata drives
2x 256mb sticks of pc2700 ddr

any thoughts? will the powersupply be ok with the radeon 9700pro?

I had an SN41G that used the FN45 rev 1.1 mobo which was VERY sensitive to what type of ram it would take. I had 2x256mb of Kingston HyperX (BH5) and it wouldn't boot with it at all. The board also refused to boot with a single 512mb DDR400 Patriot valueram. However it did work with 2x256mb crucial DDR2700. It would also run the crucial fine at 400mhz, in dual channel, oddly enough. Check the archives at sudhian forums, alot of people over there use SFF machines.
