    I put the SB Live in slot 3. The 0426 BIOS then fixed my problems.

    Supposedly Bios dated 0426 or newer or VIA 4n1 4.32 resolves the problem. (I would use both) Also try using slot3.

    When I had my sblive in the system, the only proggy that fixed my problems was the George E. Breese patch. I used both v.10 and .14 and both seemed to work fine. You can find them on viahardware.com somewhere under the link 'tweaks' or something like that.

    Note after installing this patch you will loose a lot of memory bandwith. Running Sandra tests scored 20-30 points lower in both alu & fpu. But then again this is only a synthetic benchmark so perhaps there is no real performance loss.

    The onboard sound is not as good as an SBLive!, but still it's decent. I'm only using the onboard CMedia sound because it cut down on occurances of data corruption (even after upping my bios rev and via drivers).

    WinXP Pro (RC2) has very good support for AMD/Via combos, and now I have a totally reliable system (Finally!).

    Even with the 0426 BIOS and the VIA 4.32's my problems did not clear up until I disabled the SB16 Emulation as descibed here (scroll about halfway down).

    Since then I have had no problems.
