stay away from via chipsets...
I have (unhappy) exeperienced what could do a wrong mix of ram+intel+via...
unable to compile ardour all in one go, kernel compilation freezes.
After several attempts finally I thought it was a gcc bug or something else
with dependencies or missing packages.
I wrote on this list few weeks ago with no replies then an offlist
conversation with an hardware skilled user was very clarifying in this
sense.
