Ik las op apushardware een berichtje met een nogal schokkende inhoud:

THE KT133 CHIPSET HAS A PROBLEMS WITH SHARING OF BUS MASTERING SIGNALS WHICH MEANS THAT YOU CANNOT USE CERTAIN COMBINATIONS OF PCI CARDS IN THE BOX.
THE PROBLEM WILL NOT BE SOLVED BY ANY FUTURE BIOS UPDATE, AS IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CHIPSET ITSELF.
Here's the background. For the last couple of weeks, I have been struggling trying to get my KT-7 Raid based system stable. I use my PC for audio and video editing, and want to use all the PCI slots, RAID, USB, AGP and the ISA slot. When I have more than a few PCI cards in the box, the system becomes unstable.
The nitty gritty is this. Cards which share an IRQ also share a bus mastering signal. The KT133 chipset has problems with the sharing of bus mastering signals - in short, it cannot do it and remain stable.
This means if you install two PCI bus mastering cards in slots which share an IRQ (and hence a bus master signal), you cannot expect stability. What may appear to be IRQ sharing issues may in fact be down to this bus-mastering problem.
I pointed out to the technical support representative that this is obviously a pretty fundamental issue, and if ABIT are aware of it they should post something on their website to alert users. The representative agreed, and said that something would be forthcoming.

Weet iemand of er hier iets van waar is? Het zou zeker een aantal problemen verklaren!

I think all rightthinking people in this country are sick and tired of being told that ordinary, decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.
