Has anybody had any success/problems with i845 based mobo?
Low-end Pentium IV + a lot of SDRAM seems a good deal at the moment.
Alternatively, I was considering Athlon + VIA 133A, but I have
noticed a number of reported problems on this list.
Any comments/suggestions appreciated.

i845 doesnt have DDR support, so if you want high memory bandwidth you
might want to look elsewhere.

I think its fair to say we understand the VIA chipset problems, then IDE
stuff is dealt with. The athlon optimsation problem is also something with
a known cure.

A third option, though I am not aware of the status of current kernel
support for it, is VIA's P4X266 chipset. Pentium 4 with DDR. You get some
bandwith with it, and the P4 needs bandwith.

IMHO, I would go with the Athlon/DDR over the Low end P4 with SDRAM
everyday. ;o)
Good luck though.
