I've heard no problems with that particular chipset, other than warnings
that the 686B is generally problematic on "some" boards.
I don't know if I'd recommend trying a Radeon 64 on it yet as it
apparently doesn't work with at least some VIA-based boards - specifically
the Abit KT7 and KT7A's. This is worrysome since one's a KT133 and the
other is a KT133A. I'm told the other Radeon's work fine (AiW, VE, LE,
etc) but I don't think I'd count on that yet. Your BX should be as solid
as it'll get for any video card you throw at it.
Gareth said last week that he's ordered a new KT133A-based board and will
try to debug these problems when he gets it. You might be wise to hold
off a week or two until he's had a chance to go bughunting.
