I'm running the same MCP9 (on a Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 motherboard),
and I'm also running an amd64 -STABLE kernel.  nve0 times out all the
time, (on the order of 12 minute intervals, seemingly), and the
computer locks up for a couple of seconds.  Very annoying.  If
there's anything that I can do to help debug or fix this, please
let me know!

Cheers,
