Sandra 2002 memory scores

[Greebe]

Actually I think the reason for the largest difference in scores is caused by fast writes being disabled on all SiS 745 chipset MB's atm. Have heard that this very well may be addressed shortly. As for your speculation as to why you think VIA is better choice for gamers and the SIS chipsets being better for High demand PCI use ie Video editing/server use may seem true on the surface, but IMHO VIA doesn't deserve to be supported bacause of their shitty drivers track record over the years.

(I put ATi in this boat too)


BTW The scores we're seeing on the SIS 745 chipset is only a tad slower than the VIA KT333's... nothing like the huge diffference in bus bandwidth. Also ~40% less $$!

Well, where are the Rambus guys?????

Here's some more DDR Goodness

I'd just like one question answered pleeze:
Why is via so poor in performance.
Is it the IDE driver? PCI bus driver?
I have an Abit KT7A-RAID, and i seem to have less IDE overhead than with my BX chipset????

sorry for posting this here, but people are slagging the via chipset, and i just want to be sure its the mobo...
