andreas, VIA Apollo PRO DDR motherboard "schneller aus Rambus." That's not really surprising, and the perfomance delta vs. Rambus on their limited benchmark set was only 1 to 4%. The games averaged 2% faster for PC266. Unfortunately we don't know if VIA Apollo PRO 266 is "schneller aus i815," since they only compared it to RDRAM 800 and Via Apollo Pro 133. As I recall, even the vast majority of Intel's benchmarks show i815 with PC133 faster than Rambus. Petz

Andreas, those punkte don't look that impressive. Especially considering the 820/ Apollo Pro 133 comparison, those chipsets aren't the strongest competition. I'm glad AMD is not totally dependent on VIA on that front. Cheers, Dan.
