On January 17, Tom discovered that the 686B slows down the Via North bridge (http://www6.tomshardware.com/mainboard/01q1/010117/).
What has happened since then:

a) ignored by all?
b) fixed?

If it's fixed, how do you tell what h/w is fixed (686C(?), etc.)?

See my reply to maxdog92 under "Via's VT82C686 A and B south bridges" topic.

And if you'll learn something new on the issue, I'll be eternally gratefull if you'd drop me a line.
