I have an Abit VP6 (same 694X northbridge) also running dual P3s. I
remember seeing this issue a while back (sorry -- I can't even remember
if it was when the machine was running 4.9 or after I upgraded to 5.1).
I have definitely not seen it since I updated to 5.2-BETA (I am now
running 5.2-RELEASE).
