Tsk, tsk. Same old VIA. I have the exact same motherboard and I cannot use my DC10 capture card due to VIA's horrible latency problems. > > Everything is OK until I put a SATA drive on the controller, and then it won't > boot.

So do we now add if motherboard = VIA, keep Silicon Image card and Seagate driver, change motherboard? Sigh.
