I just got an ASUS A7V266-E.  I think it is preferable to the above
except it is confused about irq0:

atapci0: <VIA 82C686 ATA100 controller> port 0xd000-0xd00f irq 0 at device 17.1 on pci0

The A7V266-E has a KT266A chipset which is claimed to have significantly
better memory controller than the ALI chipset in the A7A266.  My bcopy
and bzero benchmarks run at a maximum of 533e6 bytes/sec and 811e6 b/s
respectively (with an Athlon1400XP overclocked to 10.5*146).  My version
of makeworld takes 1418.81 seconds (with one DTLA 30MB disk).
