The thing is, there are some people that have had no problem with that
motherboard. For example, me. I don't have any weird hardware
configs, or just weird hardware either, but the board works just fine
with me.
Then again I have had problems with custom kernels, but I can't
attribute that to the board since I'm no kernel expert to know that my
kernel was perfect and it was the hardware that posed a problem for me.
But the board already has an IDE controller on board, why'd you need to
add another one?
At this point the only reason I'd want/need to swap out the motherboard
is because it doesn't support Athlons above 1 GHz. Meanwhile the only
one that will use the 200/266 FSB the motherboard features, is at least
a 1.2 GHz.

| *groan* Wish you had told me that when I posted my new system here.
| I got the A7V-KT133. Seems to work decently, except (still) the ISDN
| handling. That is erratic in speed.
| Could that be one of the bugs? Seems that the Southbridge 686B PCI/
| IDE controller is the trouble maker in this one.
|
| I may try and swap the mobo for that other one, don't know if they will
| go for it though.
