Does anyone have a PC Partner  K133AASA-220B ?

If so, do they have either the latest BIOS update, or a version of
FreeBSD with the VIA Southbridge fix?

If yes, then do you notice it lock up? :)

I have had several of these and they lock up hard (can't break in via
the debugger) after working hard (running as a radar system, md5'ing
files, and buildworlding repeatedly)

If I use the older BIOS and a version of FreeBSD without the southbridge
fix it doesn't appear to hang... Unfortunately the older BIOS doesn't
support Athlon XP CPUs, and without the fix I get data corruption.

Anyone have any input?
