I've been told very recently by a self-proclaimed linux expert (who
happens to be involved with selling systems and motherboards, including
the VIA) the VIA boards have a terrible PCI bus implementation that
has caused lots of problems. The 'expert' has been involved with linux
for years, is involved rather heavily in various audio apps, but
has zero experience with asterisk.

I don't have any experience at all with the VIA, so have no factual
knowledge or experience. Simply passing on what I was told when I
talked to him about a replacement motherboard.
