Btw... i'm thinking about getting a new box at home and want put a bt878 card in too (besides a `sym', a `fxp', a pci soundcard (sb128?) and possibly an additional 2-channel pci ide card, oh and of course a video card too (which ones work well with a bt878 at have 3D support under X?)) any recommendations for a board/chipset that would work with that many busmastering devices? (work as in not freeze/crash/panic under load or like in this case when switching vtys...) are there athlon boards that are any good?
