hello,good review as per usual.
anyone aware of the linux driver support for the KT600 chipsets...
can't find much info on it, probably just in the cookers.
regards,
Maxim.

No problem #1.And thanks for pointing that out #3, I always seem to make that same mistake.
Take care,
Evan

"...VIA, who has now been mostly regulated to the budget chipset market."You mean relegated, not regulated.

With the NF7-S being available for 115$ shipped this board is a doomed in the enthusiast market.Anonymous User - Wednesday, August 6, 2003 - link
Thanks for spotting the overclocking weaknesses. I had really hoped for this board in spite of the typical KT600 benchmark results(people give those numbers way too much importance). It's just that I don't want to touch another nFocer2 board, so I'll be looking at other KT600 options like Abit KV7. Hope you can give that one just as good a test as this was. Thanks again.
