Gary,
I'm running an Asus P2B,which is the BX chipset, and I haven't had any
trouble assigning IRQ 9 to expansion boards. My Realtek is on it as we
speak. I've used this board on Win9x systems, and had no problem there,
either.
I'll grant that the Abit m/b is slightly easier to set up than the P2b
series. But having tried both boards with the same hardware (same pieces,
not identical sets) the Asus is notably faster at the same settings, and
more likely to be reliably with OC settings. The documentation is better,
too.
Don't know about any other brands....
