In the wee hour of 04:24 PM 5/25/01 -0400, Linda Johnson bequeathed such
tales as these:

Thank you for the link Linda, are you experiencing this on your win2k
machine or the 98, or both? I had the cd read/write slowdowns as well, I'm
thinking of just ditching the mobo and trading it for an Intel 815
board. Too many problems with all VIA boards of late. Thanks again.
