Bill, on kx133 benchmarks..... I just saw this post on JC's..it sheds some light, but like Chuck said, we need to wait for Anand or Sharky to get some good #'s: -Scot Quick note: Those c't KX133 benchmarks -- in case nobody mentioned it, the test unit was two months old and there was a BIOS issued for it which supposedly fixes some performance problems that were evident in the c't scores. My source pressed me to note that if you compete against c't, now would be a good time to release your Epox KX133 benchmarks ;D There's also mutterances of "CD" and "CE" revisions (oh gods, not AGAIN!) of the KX133 -- it appears that there might be a revision shift and a new BIOS with the current KX133 over those c't scores -- I apologize if this sounds like I'm hazing c't ... while I still think that the KX133 is a piece of .... um, while I still am not impressed with it, I do think that it is better than c't's prelim tests have shown, so I merely want to stray y'all towards neutrality, just for the moment.
