Well, the board I'm planning to buy has an AMD 790GX Chipset, so hopefully I'll
be good.
I've heard of problems with VIA chipsets, but this was mostly applicable to
older chips like the K133/266 and maybe the K33 to some extent. And this was
still in Win world, so I don#t know how it is under linux. I'm only in on the
'nix bandwagon since a little time.
