Not to make a "mee too" post but...
It's worked flawlessly for me. Always. Since it seems to work fine for just about everyone else, I'd venture to say that it's a board specific issue, quite likely with the BIOS. Some other problems seem to have to do with the memory; I remember the KX133 had some definite problems with memory timing, especially with large amounts (3 DIMMS were a problem on some motherboards that were loosely laid out).
