[Sheflug] VIA chipsets for Athlon/Duron mobos

[Barrie Bremner <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all.

Does anyone have an current info on which VIA chipsets to avoid, as well as 
some recommendations on motherboards for an Athlon or Duron system.

I'm considering upgrading one machine, and I'd like the following things:

Ability to use DDR RAM - *with ECC*
Nothing onboard. No sound, no video, no RAID controllers.

Maybe one ISA slot, but all PCI is not a problem (and IIRC they're slightly 
faster than a mixed ISA/PCI system).

Cheers.

Baz.
