That SCSI cable origami makes me moist. I love it when anyone builds a dualie.

Even if it contains a VIA?

I presume you mean the chipset. I have nothing against VIA. Would I have picked it for myself? Not likely; and don't think of that as a criticism! Just because I personally gravitate to the extreme end of the workstation dual-cpu boards has no bearing here.

Yeah, was referring to the chipset. I like the VIA 266T on the right board though. A dual VIA CPU would be something. Too bad the Nehemiah didn't support SMP; I know VIA was considering it at some point.

mmm The VIA distaste is warranted though. They did make a couple stable bug free chipsets though. I'd expect this is one of them.
Ironically one of the worst if not the worst /buggyest chipset they made is the most popular for retro gaming MVP3.

Wasn't the MVP3 OK if you avoided using any AGP features - meaning, you used a Voodoo, or stuck with PCI graphics? And used the proper VIA 4-in-1 driver ?

they also have ATA data corruption bug via int 13, most notable when using promise pci IDE cards, and unstable USB. On top of that of course once you insert a AMD CPU in it, then you inherit all the AMD bugs like incomplete MMX implementation.
Oh no! That's what I'm using in my MVP3. Is there a means to quickly check for this corruption bug? I have a Promise Ultra133 in mine with a Cyrix MII. You'd think it would have exploded by now.

it may depend on south bridge revision, and promise card type. I know promise 100 version not the 133 has the bug. I think the 133 is made by marvell, while the 100 is in house I could be wrong.
also don't for get SB live PCI bug. KT266 contains a hardware bug which causes system instability when using the AGP slot at the specified max capacity of 4×
