Yep. I think it's just the fact that the KT133A chipset is so new that very few people have it. And of the people who have it, I think a great majority are running on distributions of Linux whose kernels are NOT athlon optimized.
I'd like to ask everyone who has a KT133A to please try a 2.4.x kernel with Athlon optimizations and let us know what percentage are displaying this problem.
