Richard, Did you bother to read the Sharky's article before posting the link? The TYAN 760 board was using a 100MHz memory bus, and AGP1X. In other words, the Sharky's benchmarks were completely meaningless. Scumbria

Hi richard surckla; Still looking for the silver lining, eh? So as the benchmarks show, the DDR1600 memory in the beta Tyan Trinity A762 motherboard provides a significant though not massive speed boost over PC133 CAS-2 SDR SDRAM in our ASUS A7V, at least with the Athlon 1.1GHz processor. And remember, this is a pre-release motherboard, so Tyan expects there will be more speed gains before the board is released. Simply going from AGP 1x to AGP 4x with fast-writes should boost performance significantly. So are we bowled over by DDR's performance? No, we are not. But are we happy with it? Absolutely. DDR SDRAM currently costs only slightly more than quality SDR SDRAM and provides significantly more performance. From what we can see in this early look, DDR memory is a good thing. We owe Tyan a very special thanks for allowing us to test their early Trinity A762 AMD 760 DDR based motherboard. You can expect to see this board released before COMDEX! sharkyextreme.com Funny that all these DDR motherboards are showing up for benchmarking. Kind of makes one think that there are going to be some on the market soon. -- Carl
