Dumbmoney, <The naysayers have been proven right so far. Camino performance stinks. It's DOA.> Then please tell me how VIA is going to save us all from the 800 lb. gorilla when their Apollo Pro 133 chipset demonstrates poor performance compared to 440BX: anandtech.com Oh look, the first chipset that supports PC133 can only muster performance parity with 440BX and a small margin (best case 10% in Netshow Encoder 3.0) improvement with high-end applications. It even loses to the 440BX in one business app (Naturally Speaking Prof. 3.52) and most AGP graphics benchmarks, including an 8% penalty with Quake 3. Funny how the naysayers aren't looking at this review at all, and instead complain that Camino's performance benefits are marginal over 440BX. But look! I see that VIA's PC133 chipset, the "great white hype" that's going to save us from the evil Intel and Rambus, isn't that much better than 440BX either, and in fact, demonstrates worse performance in many aspects! Just imagine if you took the review, replaced VIA with Intel, and replaced RDRAM with PC133. Man, the anti-Rambus crowd would have a field day! Tenchusatsu P.S. - Guess those guys will just have to go back to a cost argument. Or perhaps we just have to hang up our guns, call a truce and admit that 440BX and PC100 is sufficient and that we don't need a new DRAM technology any time soon.
