If you look for them, you can find the odd positive comment
as well as the negative.

Some of the private forums will have extended threads about
the board. It might take 5 to 6 hours to read the whole thing.

The Newegg reviews are usually a good way of rating a board.
Once you throw out the comments from people who don't know
what they are doing... This thread is for the A8V (non-deluxe),
because the A8V Deluxe retail version is no longer being sold
by Newegg.

The thing is, some of the smaller chipset makers in the past,
have had trouble making really good AGP interfaces. And memories
of ancient motherboards that didn't work well, will tend to
color people's opinions of modern boards.

An alternative, would be one of the ULI chipsets, but as the chipset
that supports both AGP and PCI-E is not being broadly manufactured
by the major motherboard makers, it is hard to get a product with
good support and the ULI chipset at the same time. The K8T800pro
remains the existing alternative.

Unless you can find multiple reports of K8T800pro and certain
brands of video cards having problems, it is pretty hard to
blame the chipset. It is too bad the one comment in the Newegg
review, did not mention the forum where all the bad experiences
were recorded.
