Check out the CRC problems on MSI's (VIA) KT400 mbs. If winxp/via drivers happen to drop ide speeds from UDMA to PIO due to CRCs (still looking into it), other KT400 mbs might be experiencing the same problem, except that the users don't know about it - maybe this is the case where ignorance is not bliss. In the case of KT4V, MSI's idiotic solution to CRC problem is to slow down the ide speeds. The latest trend in the AMD world is to blame manufacturers of different components on the motherboard or the "other" guy, when something is wrong. Good examples are AMD and Tyan, Tyan and Crucial.
