It is in XP Pro

I got me the Asus KV8 SE delux
I'm impressed with the little things you get with it, like a MB layout sticker to go on the inside of your case so you don't have to dig out the manual.
Also get Asus PC Probe so I can check my fanspeeds and CPU/Case temp and disk and Physical memory usage all with one click.
Been running my TV card all night and the CPU is up to 44C, case is 33C, which is a heck of a lot cooler than my Athlon 1800+ with a zalman flower!
This is using the AMD H/S/F that came with the CPU

Re the bundles, they appear to be using ECS MB's which I've not had trouble with in the past (but then I never had trouble with my KT266-E)
Don't know if they're using OEM CPU's, so you might not be getting the AMD H/S/F but a cheap and cheerful one.
Other than that I can't think of any reason not to go for a bundle unless you want a different mother board.
