MGA PCI
I think the problems with P90's are chipset based. I just replaced an OPTI
chipset motherboard (supermicro) with an Intel chipset MB (Intel brand).
I haven't noticed much difference in performance, but the OPTI chipset used a
PCI standard for multiprocessor MB's that I suspect cause the vibrant driver to
not find the MGA board. I don't have that problem with the Intel (Intel
Neptune chipset).
The MGA PCI is idiot proof – just plug it in and go. No exclusions, no
jumpers, nothing <g>!
So far I haven't had any problems with the Intel. The glitches from the OPTI
based board are not present in this one.
