Jim: What really shocked me about that KT266A platform was the increase in bandwidth benchmarks...as useless as they appear to be...It did seem to translate nicely into higher Quake 3 scores..

It seems highly probably that VIA have included some sort of cache and/or prefetcher in the Northbridge. This would completely explain the performance increase.
