I just bought a Soyo Dragon Lite for AMD Socket A w/ Via KT333 Chipset 
and just got my parts last week and put the box together Friday night.  
I have seen no problems with it at all in the 5 days it has been 
running.  I have taxed it yet because I have yet to transfer my data 
from my old box to it yet but I've given a decent test run so far.  

Plus on the Soyo website, they list their boards as actually supporting 
Linux.  That was the only Mobo manufacturer site that I seen that did 
that.  

$.02 deposited.

I used to be with it, then they changed what it was.  Now what I'm with 
isn't it anymore and whats it seems strange and scary to me.
