For me is the other way around,ali aladdin V is the chipset i prefer,the mvp3 on 2 different boards as soon as i enable dma in control panel in win98se,the system starts randomly locking up,sometimes even before it boots into windows,i tried different drivers no luck.
The ali mb has absolutly no problems of this sort,plus it has support for udma 66 compared with the udma 33 on the mvp3.
One of my Ali boards (Commate) does the same thing - locks up randomy in windows or while booting. Sometimes it will display Gate A20 Error while trying to boot. The other one (EPOX) bsods with most AGP cards. Poor overclocker too. Can't set any om my CPUs 50MHz higher - it won't post. All my MVP3's OC my K6-2's from 450 to 500 without issues or voltage increase. At 2.4v one of them even runs at 550 stable.
