I've got an Asus a7v8x-x[1] which uses the KT400 chipset. I didn't know about
the problems others were having with it when I bought mine... :-) I'm using a
Lite-On (IIRC; dmesg sees "hdc: JLMS XJ-HD166S, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive")
CD/DVD-ROM drive. I used it to install RH9 and I use it for ripping CDs
(about 200 so far). I do get these errors when ripping:
hdc: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
hdc: irq timeout: error=0x00
hdc: DMA disabled
hdc: ATAPI reset complete
hdc: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
hdc: irq timeout: error=0x00
hdc: ATAPI reset complete
... but *most* of my rips are successful (using Grip, oggenc and cdparanoia).
The ones that aren't are due, I think, to scratched CDs.
So there's another data point for ya. I can't comment authoritatively on
overall performance (which I think is a little iffy) because this is the first
high-performance computer I've build (actually, the first computer I've built
period).
