This might be grasping at straws I remember VIA problem in the "good old days" of Socket 7 with CPU/PCI Prefetches and especially Read-around-Write settings that would cause issues like we're seeing with the Athlon pre-fetches. This could be (total conjecture) related somehow to the corruption bugs they are admitting to in the 686B although they are blaming the SB Live now.
