We gave up using kt266A chipset motherboards with anything faster than ATA100. I can reproduce disk corruption within 30 seconds on any of the KT266A motheroards we've tried that have a highpoint 370/372/372a either onboard or on the RocketRaid133 controller. Did not get the corruption when using ATA100 or slower (e.g. promise fastrak 100 tx2). Simple program that writes 1.2 gig to a file and reads them back (checking the value) will find corruption every time on these boards, and I tried 5 motherboards (2 asus, 3 abit). We switched to Intel I845 chipset and to AMD MPX chipset and haven't seen the problem. I thought this problem was linked with the VIA chipset PCI latency issue as people were having the problem with high speed framegrabbers as well. **************************************************** Nicolae P.
