Xbitlabs reviews the Asus A7V880 Motherboard which sports VIA’s new KT880 Dual Channel socket A chipset.
Speaking about VIA KT880 as of VIA KT600 + dual-channel memory controller I left out one very important fact. Namely, I have to stress that VIA KT880 has finally acquired the so long-awaited option to clock the AGP/PCI buses asynchronously, which is also known as AGP lock.
……
I should say that these experiments didn’t take us too long. When we set the FSB to the maximum value supported by ASUS A7V880 – 227MHz, the system took off perfectly smoothly and didn’t reveal any stability problems throughout the entire test session.
Asus is a very reputable manufacturer and many swear by them. But I’m waiting for the Epox and Abit KT880 versions.
