Hi All,
I'm growing tired of trying to get AGP running on my EP-7KXA (KT133 chipset)
motherboard and I figure it's time for a speed boost here. I'm a confirmed
Athlon guy and will stay away from anything that says Intel on it. Also, I
find myself furrious with VIA chipsets after a week o
take a peak in the forums of http://www.amdmb.com

I have an MSI KT4 ULTRA and it works like a charm. I've had no problems with
it. I would happily recommend it.

Thanks, all, for your input. I got some boards to check out but what I was
really after were comments on the nForce chipset boards. I heard somewhere
that the chipset drivers are not open source. Is this true?

I was refering to the nForce chipset based mother boards.
I'm not blaming Nvidia one bit. I believe they h
Okay. I understand now. I thought it was for the

VIA is a mess - I don't buy boards with VIA chipsets.

I have read a number of times that older VIA chipsets were problematic.

My home box has a Soyo Dragon+ board which works great-- Soyo has had a
reputation in the past of quality problems, but they have apparently

For the records, I've been using a VIA-based MB for over a year without
a single problem. It would seem that the KT333 chipsets are a
considerable improvement over the previous series.
Additio
FWIW: I have an Abit KT7-raid MB. It has run RedHat 7.1, 7.2, 7,3, 8.0
and now Gentoo 1.4 with no problems. (No overclocking) I think it is a
VIA133 chipset. My only complaint is that I have had to replace the
chipset fan (a 486 fan actually) about 3 times. Very annoying.
I would agree with th
I have one of the new KT400 chipset motherboards from VIA and absolutely have had no
problems with it. I'm using ALSA with it to and it found the sound chipset right away.
Just my .02 cents
