BX vs VIA vs SMP at TR
Posted by: dadmin on: 05/25/2000 02:32 PM [ Print | 6 comment(s) ]
Dr. Damage over at Tech-Report has a new article on the BX vs VIA chipsets with a twist.
He takes an ASUS P2B-D with two 600E's at 800 versus a P3V4X with a single 800EB and compares them. Sound like a fair fight? It isn't, but the numbers are pretty cool anyway:

However, the BX chipset is still able to work wonders thanks to a great design, a boatload of excellent BX motherboards like the Asus we tested, and the ability to run in dual-CPU configurations. Yes, the 133A will support dual processors, but dual Via solutions are just in their infancy, while BX (and related GX) systems are powering untold thousands of dually workstations and servers. The BX is still the dually platform of choice. And if you're willing to accept the possibility of a little fussiness from some components, overclocking a BX system bus to 133MHz can get you a system as fast as anything else out there.Words from the wise.

The Register has posted a review of IBM's Thinkpad T42p. The T42p sports ATI's Mobility Fire GL T2 workstation graphics chip. What sets a workstation chip apart from standard graphics chips is its certification for use with certain high-end graphical design packages. So if you want a notebook to run a CAD package, or a 3D rendering application, you'll want one that has a graphics chip approved by the software vendor. That way, when you run a preview of that complicated scene that you've been working on for days, you know it will work.This really does look like a mobile workstation. You might want to take a look. |

The guys over at SFFTech have posted a review of Iwill's ZMAXdp SFF. If I'm not mistaken, Hooz is running one of these units in the secret 2CPU.com underground test bunker. After previewing two "engineering samples" and now reviewing the final shipping product, we can confidently say that the ZMAXdp continues to amaze us. As you |
