I was running the GB-PVR on my Gigabyte NForce2 for some time. No lockups or issues.
I had an Asus Via KT333 chipset board for several years. It was nothing but grief. It would occasionally drop to PIO hard drive access and I would have to force it back to DMA. The USB ports were cranky and intermittent. The VIA 4-in-1 drivers are critical to address the problems with IRQ routing in their chipsets.
My current rig runs without issue on an Intel i815 chipset and PIII 1.0 gig. I display all my content on an MVP.
PVR-150-MCE
I have always run AGP video whenever possible. I do not see an issue if you use an MVP to do the display. Onboard video is usally fairly whimpy, with the exception of NVidia.
