Interesting. I have no such experience. I use multiple Via boards
today and have no trouble with the ones I own. Certainly the problem
could be out there but I haven't experienced it.
Sometimes these reputations are very old and hard to live down. Intel
also made chipsets that clearly didn't do PCI correctly at one time.
They got past it. My thought is that Via's reputation may be worse
than today's reality...
Cheers,
Mark
