Re: VIA IDE driver status ?

["Frédéric L. W. Meunier" <0@pervalidus.net>]

I'm not overclocking. It's an ASUS A7Pro with Athlon 1000. I
had the same problem with an ASUS K7V with Athlon 700. But
the processor died after my cooler failed for 20 minutes!

BTW, how do I know if my cable is ATA100/ATA66, not only ATA66
? The manual from the A7Pro says it supports both, but at the
site it says the cable shipped with this motherboard is ATA66.
