I have turned to nVidia, but SiS and Uli are probably fully functional 
too with PVR500MCE. It is probably some bug or unimplemented feature on 
VIA chipsets which does not apply to other chipset manufacturers. I have 
read somewhere (probably on this list) that Asus was able to overcome 
this problem with just a BIOS update but don't count on that for a 
definitive solution. My experience as a firmware programmer tells me 
that you can hide some hardware bugs behind software workarounds, but 
eventually they will come up again later.

At first I was reluctant about nVidia because they were the new kid on 
the block in respect to system chipsets, but they have proven to me they 
are worthy. I am very happy with my board using an nForce3 chipset (for 
the Athlon 64).

Others will be better qualified to answer specifically on Sis and Uli.

The final choice is yours, of course.

Good luck.
