Go figure... Well, some motherboards interface with the chipsets in 
slightly different ways... The bulk of the VIA problems are with the 
KT133 chipset, but I guess it isn't limited strictly to that one... :(

I think for my next board, I'm going to get adventurous and try an 
nForce2-based Asus A7N8X-VM...
