    What chipset would suggest then?



I have turned to nVidia, but SiS and Uli are probably fully functional too with PVR500MCE. It is probably some bug or unimplemented feature on VIA chipsets which does not apply to other chipset manufacturers. I have read somewhere (probably on this list) that Asus was able to overcome this problem with just a BIOS update but don't count on that for a definitive solution. My experience as a firmware programmer tells me that you can hide some hardware bugs behind software workarounds, but eventually they will come up again later.

At first I was reluctant about nVidia because they were the new kid on the block in respect to system chipsets, but they have proven to me they are worthy. I am very happy with my board using an nForce3 chipset (for the Athlon 64).

Others will be better qualified to answer specifically on Sis and Uli.

The final choice is yours, of course.

Good luck.
