VIA KT600: Asus A7V600 [Review, amdzone]
We test our first motherboard based on the VIA KT600 chipset. The Asus A7V600 takes full benefits of its new features.
VIA is back and on the 400MHz FSB plane with their new KT600 chipset. While we think this naming scheme is confusing we also are glad to see another choice for 400MHz FSB Athlons. If you are familiar with the KT400 or KT400A chipset then the features of the KT600 will be familiar to you. Thu, 03 Jul, 2003 | 1514 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

With the Pentium4 nearing the end of its lifetime, and the recent speed bump to 3.2GHz looking like the last increment until Prescott's availability, Intel looked to give that final extra push from a different direction. With Springdale and Canterwood both supporting Dual Channel DDR400 RAM Intel has made one final CPU core alteration stepping the FSB up to 200MHz (800MHz effective) giving a total FSB bandwidth of 6.4GB/s.

Shuttle AN35N nForce2 Ultra [Review, Hexus]
Bar the odd latency issue, the AN35N is another solid if unexciting board. The trouble for Shuttle is that most of the major players have excellent boards already, so a 'lesser known' manufacturer has to work that much harder to establish themselves amongst the usual suspects. The AN35N is much like an accountant; it's dependable and a little boring. Fri, 27 Jun, 2003 | 411 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
