ABIT VP6 lage memory bandwidth?!

Dacht ik net klaar te zijn met mijn ultieme 3d studio max / photo shop systeem:

Moederbord: Abit VP6 Geheugen: 4x Dimm Kingston 128Mb SDram PC133, ongebufferd
Harddisk: 2x IBM DTLA 307030; 2x Intel Pentium III (FCPGA-133 MHz-256 Kb) 866 BOXED
Graphics: Elsa Gloria II nvidia Quadro 64Mb retail.

Lees ik weer ns een review waarin de geheugen bandbreedte van de via chipsets afgezeken word... AAAAAHAAHHHH :? Wat mot ik nouw als ik toch graag dual processors wil?!?!?

Here is, without a doubt, the most important of these three. I cannot stress enough, that if you are not willing to get into the bios of a VIA 694 Chipset based mainboard, you might as well not even purchase it. This goes for all of them out there, not just the ABIT. These memory numbers are horrible without any tweaking. Odds are though, if you are reading this, then you will already have experience doing this or will be building up the nerve to get in there and tweak. Don't worry, no one has ever set a board on fire by tweaking the memory...this week.

Die waarden zijn dus met een paar BIOS tweaks redelijk omhoog te schroeven. Maar waarom zijn die tweaks dan niet direct in het bios ingebouwd?

Standaard uit de doos is het dus eigenlijk een relatief *** bordje? Maar met enig morrelen is het wel acceptabel te krijgen.

En hoe verhouden andere chipsets zich tot deze waarden? (Intel, serverworks)

There are however a couple of issues I have with the board. First is the VIA 694 chipset. It is a bit clunky but has also proven to be very solid. ABIT has no control over this and I think they have done a good job at pushing it to its performance peak. Hopefully we will see them keep pushing forward with functional BIOS revisions that will allow for even better memory bandwidth in the future. The second and last issue I have with the board is the use of the High Point 370 controller chip. There have been bugs and quirks with the High Point chip from the get go. Mainly, we have recently seen incompatibility problems with Maxtor hard drives. ABIT has explained to me that these bugs are being worked on as we speak and all the kinks should be ironed out SOON. Sadly enough, if you own a Maxtor drive and anticipate putting it on this board, I don't advise it as things are now. Outside that, the ATA100 and RAID do work well on this board and you can come to expect the same results that we have seen from the High Point 370 chipset that we have seen in the past. When it works, it does work well.

Hmmmmz, zou dus toch wel goed kunnen komen. Toch maar eens over denken.
