I have a VIA based motherboard and am happy with it, everything just works fine, and believe me, I have quite a load of cards on it: SBLive, Adaptec SCSI, HPT-370 IDE controller, SMC Etherpower, PCTV Pro, and of course the AGP video card and the IDE controller on the motherboard, and they are OK. I would never, ever buy anything that is Intel anymore, except for the EtherExpress Pro. But that is getting a bit offtopic so I stop right here. Regards, Balazs
