KT400A vs nForce2 vs SiS746

Motherboards/AMD S462 by piotke @ 2003-05-15

A couple of months ago nVidia introduced the nForce? chipset for AMD. It outperformed VIA?s KT400 chipset by a considerably margin. Now VIA introduced a newer version, the KT400A. Is it a decent alternative for the Nforce?? And what about Sis ? They have the Sis 746 that boasts 200Mhz FSB. I compared three motherboards based on these chipsets, and of course, overclocked them. Tested motherboards: Abit NF7-S v2.0 (nForce2) , DFI Lanparty (KT400A) and the ECS L7S7A2L (SiS746)

Same memory settings were used here, so that we can see how the amount of bandwidth performs. I choose to calculate Pi 1M.

In the graphs: lower is better.
This were the results:

FSB: 133 / Memory speed: 200

FSB: 166 / Memory speed: 200

Once again, none of the other motherboards can keep up with the nForce² chipset.
