Thanks.  But are you saying the VIA K8T800 chipset is flakey too, and
I should only consider AMD-8000 based boards?  Just from scanning the
last month or so of archives, it looks like the bad hardware is pretty
evenly distributed across chipsets, but perhaps that's not enough
perspective.  I'm new here, after all..

Thanks,

Drew
