realtek alc650 sound, which module to use?

Topic says it all really.  Just got a new motherboard that uses the alc650, just wondering what I need to make the sound work.  I am finally able to use the Nvidia 3d drivers without my computer freezing completely.  I guess that's what I get for buying a $70 DFI board in the first place.

Thanks,

Just a little search at www.google.com/linux told me you need to use ac97 and its codecs.

I know 2.4.17 had a patch for the realtek alc650 (via the ac97 codec) so I`ll assume 2.4.19 has it proper. If not than check this url...
