JP- 0 Posted September 13, 2001 Hi, has anyone seen any preview benchmarks of this chipset? or does anyone know how it performs? Share this post Link to post
Gambler FEX online 0 Posted September 13, 2001 In comparison to a geforce 2 it is 20% slower, a geforce 2 MX it is 20% faster. It gives CPU a little boost with DASP. It has 4.2 GB/s memory transfer rate (twice as much as regular 266DDR) if you use two identical DIMMS Audio, its better then anything currently available, including audigy. with DD 5.1 encoding yay!!! combine this thing with a geforce3 and 1.4 GHZ thunderbird and you got the ultimate gaming rig, thats for sure! I plan on buying it. Just gotta see if there are any problems. Share this post Link to post
JP- 0 Posted September 13, 2001 Yeah sure it sounds good on paper but i wont be using the onboard gfx or sound. I just want to know if it is really as fast as it 'should' be. Share this post Link to post
Palos 0 Posted September 17, 2001 I would wait first to see if there is appropriate support for it, namely XP SP1 Put it this way, if your hardware works with no probs under W2K, then you are guaranteed a solid XP platform. Look how long it took to include ATA100 support in W2K, or how many patches and tweaks are for NVidia cards and AMD CPUs under W2K. Did you see anything close to this in Intel's case?

JP- 0 Posted September 17, 2001 Your right, it does take more patching to get an amd system working but its worth it Anyway, im planning to get an upgrade soon and i think it will have to be either the dual chan nforce or the kt266a, but i guess its to early for benchmarks of either BTW intel have had a few mess ups recently ;( Share this post Link to post
