VIA chipsets are pretty similar as far as their problems are concerned. most of my experience comes from the P3-class VIA chipsets, of which I avoid the onboard sound(disabled on CUV4X), the onboard IDE(use promise ATA/100s instead), and don't use AGP(NVidia's drivers usually auto disable AGP when they find a VIA chipset, but I disable it in XF86Config-4 as well). My soundcard of choice is Soundblaster PCI128.. I do like the VIA-based boards ..but for less headaches its not too hard to just work around the problems. By doing this my VIA-based boards are rock solid. I have a CUV4X that was up for nearly 14 months which I pounded on day in and out(Matrox G400) till a 3 hours power outage killed it(UPS couldn't last long enough). nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
