Unreal. I was writing a post about how unstable my PC is...and it froze.

As long as my motherboard has no VIA chips on it, and preferably isn't made by ABIT, I'm happy.

I know some ppl who have VIA and works fine... i think its ur ABIT.

VIA make one of the chips on my ABIT motherboard. This chip has a history of generally being shiet. It conflicts with my soundcard and the other chip on my motherboard, which is made by AMD. This is partly Creatives fault, partly VIAs, and partly ABITs.

400MB JPGs? What are they? And so you have them on a website for all to see (thumbnail size, of course)?.

Porn!

Big bazooka breasts. 200MB a boob.

My EPoX 8KHA+ is a Via KT266A chipset and the only problem I've ever had is recently an unresponsive USB in CS. Even then I haven't isolated it to the VIA chipset, and I think I've fixed it now anyway.

TBH I think it's your ABIT.

That's why I asked for the website. Must be a real treat for broadband users.
