If you still want to try things:

- do you have a setting called "Delayed Transaction" in your BIOS? If so,
make sure it is ENABLED. In my BIOS, it was disabled by default, but I read
that this enables the buffers in the PCI chipset and might thus help.
- try the SAA7146A settings:
  1) burst = 16 DWORDs, threshold = 32 DWORDs (that's the only one that
would work on the machine with the SIS chipset)
  2) burst = 16 DWORDs, threshold = 16 DWORDs (works good for high data
rates)
