    i was building a windows machine (yah booh sucks) for a client and i got a P5A
    would it work - would it hell
    got them another motherboard (smicro if i recall) and all was well
    i kept the P5A - not sure why
    i've just put linux on it and it is rock solid

    same basic config
    p5a, K6-ii/350, 128M SDRAM DIMM, Maxtor drive

    you know, i suspect that a lot of the flakiness that is attributed
    to microsoft could quite possibly be flaky hardware
