Milo,

What can I say? Athlon running on KX133 is indeed faster than Intel's latest Coppermine-processor running on the i840-platform! This is what we would have expected in the first place."

Thanks for posting it. The performance increase with the new GEforce driver was very impressive.

I'm delighted with this chipsets performance with PC133. we might see some more performance improvements, as the product matures and the required drivers are fine tuned.

Via did a very good job with their KX133 design. Now, I also understand why the chip had been delayed - they took their time to release the chip without any major problems - which is very important at this early stages of Athlon infrastructure build up, and when you are going against a big propaganda machine out there.

The fact that GEforce new drivers are released so soon after TOm's first report, and that Microsoft acquired some of these boards indicate to me that AMD and VIA are working very closely with the other players to ensure the availability of proper drivers without any undue delays.

IMHO, KX133 will be successful in achieving the objectives behind the design of this chip - lower cost, higher performance with 133MHZ memory interface, to make Via a major supplier of chipsets, etc.

We should soon start seeing releases of new motherboard based on KX133 and more Athlon proliferation.
