For those of you with experience with them, what's your opinion of VIA chipsets?
In my research for my next upgrade, I see good reviews on the Abit KT7A-RAID (usingVIA KT133A chipset). I'm tempted by the RAID and the 6 PCI, 1 ISA slots. However, a couple friends tell me 'For the love of god don't do it!'.
It seems they've experienced wierd compatibility issues (esp with sound/video cards) that made them end up spending days instead of hours getting the rig stable. Both of them just ended up forgoing all the nice features of the ABit and going with ASUS (A7V).
Any comments?
