VIA K8T900 Chipset Launched For AMD Platform

Posted by Zonk on Tuesday November 22, 2005 @09:06AM from the shinnnnny dept.

MojoDog writes " VIA has launched their new K8T900 chipset for the AMD platform this morning and HotHardware.com has a full analysis with benchmarks of the new platform. VIA is jumping into the dual PCI Express Graphics arena as well with this offering with their 'Rapid Fire' technology, which currently only supports their MultiChrome Dual GPU setups. However, NVIDIA and ATi will both have to provide the required driver level support for either SLI or CrossFire technology, which currently is not available on this new chipset. Beyond that, from a features and performance standpoint the K8T900 looks to be a solid solution."

The average computer uses as much as the Mayflower worth of coal to run on any given day.

I'm sorry - I don't understand metric; how many libaries of congress per furlong is that?

"the K8T900 looks to be a solid solution"

Until you actually use it that is. Or plug in a PCI card. Or memory. Or a processor. Then it crashes a lot.

You would think people would know better than to waste time with VIA by now!
