Hi gigabyte users,
I haven't seen _any_ GAx86DX board run stable in multiprocessor mode
yet. Neither with NT, neither with linux.
Random crashes, under heavy load, sometimes even after starting up
X-Windows. First, you lose the mouse and keyboard interrupts, and
then the system locks up.
I've thrown out all gigabyte boards from our systems by now, and with
them, my problems vanished :)
Just my humble .02
