To begin with, VIA has always had issues with card compatability, memory stability, hard drive corruption, and PCI latency. And this particular chipset was designed by reverse engineering, VIA was stealing the technology at the time. Also, Soyo has the worst tech support in the industry and their warranty is almost useless, they actually charge people a service fee to replace defective boards.
