Default Fixing the via bugs

The day after tomorrow I will be the proud owner of a MSI KT3 Ultra mainboard, but I heard of several via bugs (this is my first VIA Athlon mainboard). I will be running windows xp on it. I've heard of audigy bugs, PCI bugs,...

What to do, to make all this disappear?

I have a PCI ATA controller and Audigy.

Install XP and the VIA 4-1 4.38a drivers.

Does this also solve the PCI latency bug?

If you need to "fix it" check your BIOS and set it under 128, say 64.

I don't think you will have any problems with a "clean" installation of XP and updated drivers.

Are the 4.39 (beta's) any good? They can be found at www.viahardware.com .
