i didn't have any stability issues with Via chipset since KT600 two years ago. if someone has a problem with a board, then it's always the chipsets fault. that's not true, there are also other factors like board manufactor, bios, bios setting and the assembly. lots of noobs, and if you didn't make more than 20 high end computers then i consider you a noob, just don't have enough expirience in making a stable computer. sometimes it just takes more than putting everything together. the last compability issue i remember me was on a nforce4 board but i don't blame the chipset because it was the bios' fault. the A8V deluxe v2 has been a very stable board for me. used at least 25 of those.
so you can't draw any conclusions based on one review on one motherboard done on one website. from what i know the Albatron KT890 is fully stable.
people need to move on and understand that Via doesn't make unstable chipsets. it's just that it's always used for cheap motherboards and those tend to be badly made. with the release of the athlon 64, Via chipsets were used on high end boards and nobody was complaining back then.
