      No surprises really, crappy drivers buggy chipsets whats new. Yeh I heard Nvidea had a problem with sata and disabled it. Still one review doesn't make a summer.

          Well, if I were to buy a Hammer system now, I woluld choose a VIA chipset, nV have problems with the HyperTransport between the CPU and the chipset. And VIA only have a isse with a IDE driver as far as I have understood....

            They do have issues too... Maxtor even declares all results found with their PowerMax HDD diagnostic utility on their drives irrelevant when tested with nForce chipset. Appearantly the IDE gives funny results in this utility (and I've seen lots of weird behaviour of nForce2 boards in windows to on IDE... not on all boards though, so it's a kind of hit or miss thing).

            Raptor:

            what about VIA's PCI implementation? Does it suddenly, miraculously NOT suck? I doubt it, especially in an environment where PCI performance is very important (entry level servers with 64bit/66Mhz PCI slots).

              Ayuh. I'll wait until SiS offers a hammer chipset, thanks.
