Ditto here.  I see no problems with -current (as of last Sat. morning)
on this Athlon-1.1Ghz/Asus-a7v.  I don't use the junker promise 66-Mhz
controller on the card.  It has gotten disk errors and hangs since day
1, but the other built in VIA 33-Mhz controller works fine.

I have 3-dimms of 750MB dram, but I set the timing of the CAS-2/2/2
dimms to CAS-3 just to be conservative.  Multi-hour compiles work just
fine.
