Chauk up another one for VIA

[GT98]

From Viahardware.com

VIA officially announced their KT400 chipset for the AMD Athlon line of processors last week at QuakeCon. The live demo on the chipset was less then impressive however. Following up roughly 1000 people to watch John Carmack's speech, 15 people or so stuck around to watch what VIA had to show off. VIA had spent a lot of money to be at QuakeCon and to appeal to more of the gaming side of things, however the live demo of KT400 running Quake3 saw continued crashes. Overheating ram was blamed. Despite this embarrassing demo, VIA had great support from their motherboard partners who were showing off many KT400 boards as we showed you in our QuakeCon coverage.

Jeeze what a POS...Long live SIS

It was the RAM's fault?

God I pissed myself when I read this.

Suppose they said it also happens on Intel chipsets.

They should have gone out and bought some ram with heat spreaders then.

I wonder what John Gatt saying about this over at Via arena probably denying the whole thing.

[ZokesPro]

Eventually they will learn and when they do let's hope the product is good!

[The PIT]

Will it be too late though as their market share is shrinking already.

[Dr Mordrid]

REALLY....and the SiS 648/746's are going to make it even worse for them.

Have they even done anything about not having a P4 license other than make their own boards?
