64bit Chipsets Compared

~~craig588~~ · Oct 5, 2003, 11:16 PM

Here's a preview:
Today at GamePC, we'll be looking at the first two volume-production Athlon64 chipsets, the nForce3 150 from nVidia and the K8T800 from VIA, and we'll compare them to the current crop of Athlon 64FX / Opteron chipsets on the market as well. We'll also take a look at some of the first generation motherboard platforms which are using these chipsets. Hopefully we can make that motherboard pairing choice for your shiny new Athlon64 processor a little bit easier.

Good and fair article. Nice to know you can go the cheaper route and get negligable difference in performance. My next setup will no doubt be athlon64/viak8t800. Thanks!

P.s. My name is also Craig.
