It doesn't currently seem to boot with the RCC chipset. I get
the following:
pci unknown vendor = 0x9005, dev = 0x00cf
This is with a RCC-186566-PO3. As for stability, I have another box
running Linux with an RCC-xxxx-PO2 that seems fairly stable.
The RCC chips are supposed to allow better memory bandwidth @ 133Mhz.
