Petz, re:<Tenchusatsu, just another VIA VC-133 vs. BX-100 comparison: In Maximum PC Magazine for November they reviewed the Micron Millenia with VC-133 (virtual channel SDRAM at 133 MHz).>

When it comes to the VC SDRAM, I doubt that the VIA chipset is designed well enough to take any advantage of virtual channels feature of the VC SDRAM. In default mode, VC SDRAM works just like any PC133 SDRAM. I don't have full understanding of VC SDRAM yet, but it's my understanding that it could provide higher data rate if the virtual channel feature can be put to good use by the chipset.
