ASUS motherboards and Matrox cards?

[Technoid]

But the worst thingis all those Early VIA MVP/3 / Apollo Pro and uppward Motherboard reviews by both Tom and Anand where the always say:
the Board worked good and we didn't have any problems installing and configuring it.

What was it they did? plopped a cpu, pci vga and isa sb16 and run it for half an hour with word and then overklocked 50 Mhz and anounsed that it was stable and great

My first VIA MVP3 mainboard ir reviewed at Tom's a millenia ago and he never mentioned that it nedeed a IRQ patch to work with more than one PCI card, he just said that it wasent anything unusual with the bord and continued with the next rewiew

I've been running the Marvel G400 on a P2B-S for over a year now. On Win98SE I never had any problems. WinME has lots of problems, but I can't attribute those to the video card, probably just the fact that WinME bites. I've been running on Win2000 for over 6 months now and everything is rock solid.

Hi iokar, i have the same combination of marvel g400 and the p3vx and works great, but.
What are your bios settings for:
Agp 2 or 4? / cache mode uc or ucsw / and fast write enabled or disabled?
I hope you read this, and wait for your reply

I kind of like Anand's motherboard reviews. I find the comments on layout, stability, and performance to be informative.

It's true that he doesn't do much testing beyond the tired Quake III regimen, but his site applies more to the masses, not videophiles.

From http://www.murc.ws Jun 9 2001:

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size="2">- With some clips I'm experiencing choppy playback on TV in extended overlay mode (everything is fine on monitor). This could be caused by my ASUS motherboard that according to Matrox has such problem with latest G400 drivers.
