Re: do you have any evidence that the VIA chip set actually is proven?

After what seems to have occurred with camino, "proven" is going to be hard to prove, but tyan seems pretty happy with the Apollo Pro 133 so far:

Tyan has an excellent reputation for quality and stability, so their opinion is worth something.

KZ:

I know the VIA chip has been tested.. prooven and tested are obviously not the same thing in most people books. I would expect that initially performance will be sub-optimal and early VIA MB's will have some instabilities in them (since they will mostly be reference board clones). The possibility of VIA screwing up something that cuases problems is about 50/50.. but I am going to run on the assumption they do not screw it up.
