• MSI KT6 DELTA-FIS2R KT600   [Review, hexus]
  We had an initial look at VIA's and EPoX's all-new KT600-based motherboard. I could bore you with technical details that would make watching paint dry an energetic and interesting pastime. Instead, I'll point you over to this link with the intention of familiarising yourself with exactly what the KT600 chipset is and how it plans to challenge NVIDIA for SoA supremacy. We expect the Clawhammer CPUs to provide AMD's desktop performance from Q3 '03 onwards, but we also expect that the present S462 format still has a ways to run.

• DFI LANParty NFII Review   [Review, HardcoreWare]
  Just over two months ago now we reviewed the DFI Lanparty KT400a, DFI's other AMD entry in its Lanparty line. Although we were impressed by the effort DFI had put into creating a motherboard designed especially for enthusiasts we found that the KT400a chipset implemented invoked feelings of embarrassment coupled with pity; much like that drunken brother in law who always wants to sing while playing air guitar at weddings.

• Abit KV7 Review   [Review, mbreview]
  There can be no doubts about the nForce2 chipset, it has brought performance to new levels and throughout the various revisions, nVidia has kept gaining speed. Not too long ago, VIA released their KT600 chipset which is positioned against the nForce2 chipset. One problem that has always held back overclocking enthusiasts from working with VIA solutions is their inherent lack of a set AGP / PCI frequency. This has been a known issue with all VIA chipsets, and it still exists within the KT600. Today, we’ll be taking a look at Abit’s own KT600 motherboard, the KV7, to see just how well the KT600 chipset performs, along with how well we can overclock the KV7.

• ASUS A7N8X-X Single Channel nForce2   [Review, LostCircuits]  
  Undisputed leader amongst the 32bit Athlon platforms is currently nVidia's nForce2 chipset sporting dual independent memory controllers that are believed to be a key to the untouchable performance of this core logic. Surprising, therefore, has been the release of a recent wave of singe channel nForce boards by Soltek, ASUS and others that are competing against the VIA and SIS solutions at the very low end of the market. Even more surprising have been reports showing that those boards were actually outperforming the full versions that, at least in theory, offer twice the bandwidth of a single memory channel design.

• ASUS A7V600 Mainboard on VIA KT600 Chipset Review   [Review, XbitLabs]
  As we have already told you in our Modern Socket A Chipsets Roundup, the performance of the new chipset from VIA is not higher than that of nForce2 Ultra 400. However, performance is not the only factor determining the chipset’s success. Other factors include the price of the solution, the cost of implementation in mainboards, characteristics that don’t directly relate to performance and so on. That’s why KT600 can hope for a bright future, although not in the high-end market sector. Enthusiastic users are more likely to prefer nForce2 as showing noticeably higher speed.

  As compared to the KT400, the new chipset acquired a full-featured support for the 200(400DDR) MHz system bus and DDR400 memory. Besides, the north bridge KT600 features in the advanced memory controller based on the proprietary technology, VIA FastStream64. This technology provides for a far more balanced pre-fetching process as well as deeper data buffering.

• EPoX EP-8KRA2+ KT600   [Review, Envynews]
  Since VIA released their KT400 based motherboards, users were a little disappointed its lackluster performance compared to an equivalent nForce2 based system. In true VIA style, they recently released the KT600 chipset which we can see here on the EP-8KRA2+ from EPoX. Some reviews have been bashing the KT600, but we have in fact found that a bit of BIOS tweaking can earn you a good 12% increase in performance.

• Abit KV7   [Review, Legionhardware]
  Today, I will be test driving the “K7V” and as mentioned previously this motherboard is based on the new VIA KT600 chipset. I recently posted a KT600 roundup based on five KT600 motherboards from the likes of Gigabyte, ASUS, EPoX, Soltek and MSI. All boards performed very competitively however, the MSI solution offered slightly better performance than the rest. Already the K7V looks to have inherited all that was good about the BH7, for example; it is the cheapest KT600 board I have looked at so far with a retail value of $80 US.
