So are you saying that given the current information available you have you do not know how to fix the via - Athlon stuff or am I reading too much into this? I dont know how to fix it. Im not too sure I know how to even chase it down further.

So are you saying that given the current information available you have you do not know how to fix the via -> Athlon stuff or am I reading too much into this? I am looking at buying an Athlon board soon and I am trying to figure out if I should avoid via at all costs or not.

I may need to consider the AMD boards seriously if I can't get the Radeon 64 working on the KT7A in the next few weeks.
