Elmer - There is an interesting review article by Tom Uberclockermeister Pabst on various Slot 1 Motherboards using the Acer and Via Slot 1 chip sets.

Here is one of the key conclusions:

"
Starting a complete new chipset for a basically different system
is not quite easy. The manufacturers of chipsets (or
motherboards) don't get the chance to play around with the
cache timings in Slot-1 systems any more, so they have to try
optimizing the bus and memory performance.In the last months
and even years Intel has proved this to be one of their best
fields.
That's why I'm not very surprised that the first generation
of non-Intel Slot-1 chipsets wouldn't be able to beat them. "

By the way, the 440 BX chip set beat out the Via and Acer chip sets on all tests. The old 440LX also outperformed the others when a 66 MHz FSB was used.
