    SiS645 chipset, are you tempted to turn to Intel again?

    Helldiver: Hard to find a mobo with out the VIA chipsets... and I try. I have had both the 750 and 760 series boards, and the VIA chipsets may well be the cause of the spikes we have noticed for so long, on so many raids. Just a thought. I would love to see an ALL AMD mobo, without the via...
