There were chipset problems with early PCI motherboards
that used ARES chipsets. The problem dealing with
interupt conflicts with bus-mastering controllers like the
BusLogic 946C were supposedly addresses in the Mercury
and later chipsets. 

I can tell you that re-booting my server would often
hang when the controller would start up. After a few
attempts it would work. At least it did for about 
a year and a half.

My BusLogic 946C just decided to stop working the other day.
Sort of...It recognized the DOS partition on the disk
but would not see my Novell partition

Guess what I replaced it with...
An ADAPTEC AHA-1542. Considering the time pressure
I was under to get my file server back up and running
it works. Its not PCI but it works.

I would check to see what chip sete ASUS uses and
see if it possible to get a later one.

Hope this helps.

Don.
