With all due respect to Mr. Neal, I've built many systems using FIC boards and I have never had any problems with their product. They are fine, quality built boards that are very stable...and have been reviewed favorably at such sites at anandtech.com , tomshardware.com & lostcircuits.com. I've used the PA-2006, 2007, 2013 & VA-503+ models. In addition to FIC, the VIA MVP3 & 4 chipset is used by many other motherboard manufacturers in the construction of Socket 7 and Super Socket 7 motherboards. True, most installs of Win95 and 98 require some installation of specialized drivers to ensure stability, but, if it weren't for AMD Corporation's support of the chipset in competing (CPU wise) with Intel, we would probably be paying much higher prices for the CPU's that drive our systems.
