Read about the JUNK hardware base you are working with. This is one of the reasons people avoid VIA.

Do you have recommendations for chipsets for AMD CPUs, especially from Linux IDE driver guy's point of view and especially regarding Linux support for them? ALi, AMD, nVidia or SiS?

It seems hard to find any comparisons between current VIA and non-VIA motherboards on the net.

ALi: don't know.
AMD: Works fine. UDMA100 max. I like these best.
nVidia: Only in 2.5 kernels.
SiS: don't know.
VIA: Works fine. If you're unlucky and get a bad board, then, well,
you're unlucky. Currently the fastest Athlon solution.
