Think again.
It seems to fix the stability problem. We don;t know why, but
experimetation shows that those _with_ the problem are relieved. This is
fine! We are happy with it.
We write to a register marked as "don't write" by Via. This is potentialy
dangerous in ways we don't know yet.

How can you know you need it if it is enabled by default. I see many more

And then, would you prefer having somebody naging about, say, his
northbirdge melting down after 10mins with K7 optimizations enabled?
