    It's a Chaintech 7AJA0, based on VIA KT133. The
    chipset has some known problems: there was a registry
    patch for Windows 2000, that avoided hard hangs (the
    IDE controller and the processor ended up waiting for
    each other to free the PCI bus, for periods between a
    few seconds and three hours, according to the
    documentation). They claimed no other OS was affected
    by this (they had Linux drivers on the CD, so I assume
    "other" included Linux). When trying to install
    Windows 2000, this happened almost every time, either
    during hardware detection, or during the final DCOM
    registration. It happened just once or twice to get
    hardware hanging under Linux, in about 2.5 years of
    exclusive usage (even under heavy load). Since I use
    FreeBSD 4, about 6 months ago), I didn't get any
    hardware hangs, but some programs sigsegv-ed
    unexpectedly, and unreproducible. Maybe this is
    related to the memory, not the chipset issue.

    It looks like the best thing to do, imho. I hope
    high-quality boards from Asus, Epox or MSI don't
    exhibit such problems.
