My home computer I have the Epox EP-7KXA, specs go here
http://www.epox.com/html/english/products/motherboard/ep-7kxa.htm and it has
the VIA-KX133 chipset and I run dual boot Windows 98 and Redhat 6.2 zoot,
running a Athlon 800 and 2 Corsair 128mg PC133 memory sticks, and a Diamond
V550 (running at 2x AGP, board goes up to 4x AGP).
I have no problems with the ATA66 controller and the Maxtor 66 drive, using
the 66 cable, I dont know if the "66" mode or the "33" mode is active in
Linux, but it does run - and run very fast, KDE is a dream!
HTH,
