Ugh why VIA? They have been a constant source of trouble for me on both
linux and windows. I have my doubts about their ability to get a chipset
right in the first place.
Some other possible Athlon boards:
Asus A7M266 (AMD chipset)
Asus A7A266 (ALI chipset)

Maybe. Consult
What with all the various problem reports flying around for via
chipsets, Ive lost track of the state of play as regards via
northbridges and south bridges.
I am thinking of buying a machine with a via chipset and I wan't to know

I haven't seen any reports of problem with this; it's the duals that need
the noapic workaround at the moment.
