it seems to describe some interesting facts of the VIA southbridge.
I remember when nobody had an answer for why sound blaster cards were having problems with VIA chipsets.
now I know.
an intersting read if you have had soundcard problems or are thinking of a high end raid system(low end won't see the problem)
there is a "patch" that might help but I have not tried it(I am low end)
HTH
if you try the patch please post or email me
