Andre - RE: "VIA Apollo KX133 - the award winning AMD Athlon Processor chipset solution. Witness the screaming performance of VIA based SYS Systems 1.4GHz AMD Athlon Processor machine!

A system capable of running at 1.4 GHz or a system with a 1.4 GHz CPU?"

The "SYS Systems" makes this sound like a Kryotech computer. If I remember correctly, SYS Systems resells Kryotech systems.

EDIT - anandtech.com says the company I am thinking of is called "SYS Technologies", not SYS Systems...

Andre,

<1.4 GHz system from VIA?

Look at this link (also found on the "innsbruck" thread):

61.13.32.101

VIA Apollo KX133 - the award winning AMD Athlon Processor chipset solution. Witness the screaming performance of VIA based SYS Systems 1.4GHz AMD Athlon Processor machine!

A system capable of running at 1.4 GHz or a system with a 1.4 GHz CPU?>

Welcome aboard! That's quite a catch from VIA web site. I wonder if this one is like a technology demo or if there is something more to it.

Looks like the next few days are going to be extremely interesting.

P.S.: If AMD does 1.4G technology demo, I wonder if some of the folks out there will say AMD does not have anything to compete with a 1.5G Wilamette and downgrade AMD .....
