People buy the products, get pissed off, forget, and keep buying the products.
My feelngs are that it is a pretty baisc benchmark ment to show the faults of ONE of the competng chipsets, (ALi seems to be the guess at the moment) then spin this through advertising to give the reader the impression hat VIA is the only one who dosen't suffer from the problem.
I also consider VIA as being unethical IF indeed this utility will be used in the manner funky thinks as this may cause the some other manufacturers to come up with campaigns deriding their opponents' (through such utilities) rather than publishing their own products' merits. VIA's well-known pci bandwidth issues could be targeted easily enough so i am a bit surprised why VIA would bother to expose another chipsets' faults.
@funky - Every new or even the top performing chipsets have errors and issues including current amd holygrail Nforce2 , it is just that nvidia admitted its problems and released patches to resolve them. VIA will getting the stick until they change. Not to say that they make very bad chipsets, just that they are not addressing the issues feedbacked to them.
