Are you sure this "will" work? Sorry about my heretic question, but I 
remember myself I bought two identical A7V motherboards for our lab 
year's ago, both driven by Windows 2000 and later Windows XP and 
FreeBSD. On box never had problems being switched off via push-button or 
shutdown -p, the other box never performed this task! Even not on 
Windows. Both boxes used the same BIOS versions, same CPU, same 
peripherial hardware ... But I never examined the board revision ...
