Not to argue for MS or anything, but AMD motherboards with VIA chipsets
have *cough* 'issues' with alot of shit. Greatest of which is the EMU10K
sound chipset by creative labs... the southbridge on those via based
boards is crap. The newest chipset supposedly fixes most of those
problem. Also note, it has NOTHING to do with MS.
Like I said, dont flame me for this post as it was not intended to defend
the great evil.. :D
