Yeah, this is the same reason I'm hesitant to jump into the Athlon
world. The companies that have been backing AMD's chips are just
horrible at chipsets. I'd still much prefer a good, solid Intel
chipset, and for IDE/UDMA definitely a PIIX- series controller. Too
bad, because otherwise the Athlon is a nice platform.
