Should... Hate that word... Via was the only ones that officially stated that
the K8T890 chipset has issues with dual core - but there are rumors out there
that some early NForce4(pro, 2200, whatever variant) chips share the same
issue.

Unfortunately you're on the money with that one. I scored some dual core chips
from AMD and all boards I used except the newer Tyan ones don't have bios
updates available...
