I've used VIA chipsets on many AMD boards, no problems with any of them besides Linux' adamant refusal to believe the BIOS when I set it to disable any onboard sound hardware ... Most recent board is an Asus K8V-MX with VIA chips. Only reason I'm replacing it now is that the on-board SATA won't recognize a new (working and tested) SATA2 drive I bought. -- David gnome@xxxxxxxxxxxxx authenticity, honesty, community _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
