I will NEVER EVER by a MB with a via chipset again! Period. It has left me so bitter, that I probably wont' even get an AMD cpu next time. I went to AMD's website and picked a MB brand that was recommended by AMD. I spent 3 months screwing around, getting frustrated and cussing. Changed to an IWILL mb and all my problems went away. Before that I had an Intel MB, intel chip and no problems. It isn't that AMD sells bad product, but a LOT of MB companies are putting out shit. My 1.3 cents worth.
