I appologize. I do not like VIA, but the generalization I made was wrong
and made after a long and aweful dealings with the two different
motherboards I got with the VIA chipsets. I lost my objectivity and people
should see my comments in the light.

I am running an AMD TBird 1100 MHz on an ABIT KT7A motherboard with VIA KT133
chipset and I have had zero problems related to the mobo.

I know. I am talking about AMD + VIA. I must admint though, the bad

Carlos,
You scared me man. I am planing to buy a new computer
soon and I am thinking to buy AMD and the MB has a VIA
chipset. So you don't recommend VIA. What motherboard,
video card, sound card and CPU do you recommend?
