    Firstly, KT880 is less expensive. Secondly, it boasts more advanced features, such as SerialATA and 8 USB 2.0 ports support. Thirdly, its overclocking potential is not any worse than that of nForce2, while the VIA chipset doesn’t suffer from the problems of nForce2 during overclocking (when the BIOS gets corrupt and the frequencies “float” around)

    In conclusion I would like to point out one more thing, which will be of interest to overclockers in the first place. 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. In other words, now when you want to increase the FSB frequency beyond the nominal values, such as 100/133/166/200MHz, you will also be able to avoid synchronous growth of the AGP and PCI frequencies together with the FSB one, so that they exceeded the nominal 33/66MHz. This way, now it will be much easier to overclock the processors on VIA KT880 based mainboards, because you will not need to keep an eye on the proper functioning of the AGP and PCI devices during overclocking. As a result, VIA KT880 will be at least no worse than NVIDIA nForce2 from the overclocking point of view, because the latter has had the option of asynchronous FSB and AGP/PCI buses clocking from the very beginning.

    Ok. A KT880 jobb :)
    A lényeg, hogy eszerint VAN benne lock, a déli hídja sokkal többet tud mint az nV-jé és nincsenek idegesítő bugjai.

    A lényeg, hogy állítólag van benne PCI/AGP lock. Kérdés, hogy működik-e.

    Más részről viszont nem tudom milyen nf2 overclocking problémáról beszél...

    Ha ez igaz, és működik a PCI/AGP lock, akkor kb hasonlóan húzható mint az NF2, és hasonló teljesítményt kéne nyújtania.

    Pluszban chipsetbe integrált SATA és a sokak által kifogásolt nF2 IDE vezérlés helyett a rég jó VIA-s IDE...

    Nem lehet rossz, de azért nem rohanok lecserélni az NF2-t...
    Plussz első kézből származó infókban jobban bíznék...

    Aki hülye, haljon meg!
