Sylvester, Re: Are you saying that the VIA chipset then is no good. Why would there be any big difference? The VIA chipset is solid but still an underperformer compared to other chipsets. Also note that all these benchmarks are from Pentium III systems. The P3 has on a 133 MHz FSB a bandwidth of 1,066 GB/sec while the Athlon (100 MHz DDR FSB) reaches 1,6 GB/sec or 2,1 GB/sec (with 133 MHz DDR FSB). So DDR should (read: will) scale much better on an Athlon. Like I said: Just wait a few more days. And concerning the AMD vs. VIA chipset performance: the AMD 750 chipset (bypass enabled) with PC100-222 memory is roughly as fast as the VIA KX133 chipset with PC133-222 memory. It's main advantage is it's synchronous design. Andreas
