    Has VIA really improved with K8T800?

    These results are guaged in FPS, where the higher score is better. You can see here that the Athlon 64 processor is WAY behind the group. I was unable to find the source of this problem, but I am guessing that the 23.3 score is not really a reliable one. After discussions with another reviewer at Computex, the source of the problem may be related to the IDE driver on the K8T800 chipset -- I'll be sure to look into that when I get back from Computex.

    Well well...

      Well I thought that the Nforce Boards had IDE issues too..well read that over [h] sooo taking it with a grain of salt
      Why is it called tourist season, if we can't shoot at them?

          No surprises really, crappy drivers buggy chipsets whats new. Yeh I heard Nvidea had a problem with sata and disabled it. Still one review doesn't make a summer.

                  Well, if I were to buy a Hammer system now, I woluld choose a VIA chipset, nV have problems with the HyperTransport between the CPU and the chipset. And VIA only have a isse with a IDE driver as far as I have understood....

                      They do have issues too... Maxtor even declares all results found with their PowerMax HDD diagnostic utility on their drives irrelevant when tested with nForce chipset. Appearantly the IDE gives funny results in this utility (and I've seen lots of weird behaviour of nForce2 boards in windows to on IDE... not on all boards though, so it's a kind of hit or miss thing).

                      Raptor:

                      what about VIA's PCI implementation? Does it suddenly, miraculously NOT suck? I doubt it, especially in an environment where PCI performance is very important (entry level servers with 64bit/66Mhz PCI slots).

                          Ayuh. I'll wait until SiS offers a hammer chipset, thanks.
