    Price performance, that's it... They are heavy into OEM... The same guys that own a big share in them own a big share in other OEM companies.
    Ya'll think us folk from the country's real funny-like, dontcha?

      You can test the 686B bug by transferring large amount of data from one IDE channel to the other one using UDMA modes - e.g. copy large files from CD-ROM to HDD connected to different channels and then check MD5 sums of the files. If they don't match, you have a problem. Try VIA PCI latency patch instead of 4in1.
      I never had file corruption when copying a file from one IDE channel to the other! This is even with the 686B southbridge chipset.

        ok, as i bought this boards, never one know`s the bug. I startet with an w2k or w98 (don`t remeber) autoinstalation. This inlcuded the automated copy of the whole windows cd on to the hdd. And with UDMA enabled on both -hdd and Cdrom this prozes failed permanently. So, experienced with od oldscool UDMA problems disabled the UDMA of cd and then it worked. I have leaved it until those bug become popular and i knowed what had been wrog. Those Problems only become noticable if you copy large files or if an Sb Live stresses the PCI bus. But the problem is still there anyway. And this makes a good os installation going apeshit in the long run. Ok today with improved drivers, Bios PCI bus master time out option those problem are worked around, but this slowed down the PCI performance. May be bad board design and bad caps mak this problem worser, but it is existant in any 686b bridge.

          Same here - the broken stuff is the well known G-LUXON 6.3V 2200uF garbage - twelve of them twelve bulge, so no surprise about the random rebooting, bluescreen and all that jazz with the random switching off or not starting from time to time....

          We'll see what happens after these are all replaced.
