2.6.17 (proabbly .16 as well) finally fixed the 'clock runs twice as fast as it should' bug that has plagued my RS480 notebook. MSI nor ATI has been able to issue any kind of definitive fix for the instability problems - the only solution is don't run PowerNow (the crash tends to happen in a speed state transition) or run the RAM at 333 instead of 400. i'd steer clear, maybe the bug is fixed in the 482 but who knows.. ATI doesnt have a very good track record with linux..
