Man, there are so many interesting things they should be investigating. What's the deal? For example, and this is HUGE: How well does Virtual Channel RAM perform in these KT-133A boards?
I mean, VC RAM almost made a big splash in the market, but no one supported it at first and then there was absolutely NONE of it available for a long time. But now that it's available everyone has forgotten about it or just "assumed" it's not worth a look. Hey, this stuff is cheaper now than 133 cas2 was just 3Months ago! Yes, it's pricy by comparison (around 115 for a 128MB stick) but it's not outrageous by any means.
So how would these 133 boards, outfitted with VC RAM, which they support, stack up against the DDR 760 chipset? The DDR chipsets are great but they are not exactly blowing the doors off of performance. Has anyone done any comparison testing of VC in 133 vs. 760 DDR? Please give me the link if they have!!!!
Also, why no RAID comparisons? Aaaaargh!! How many people on here would LOVE to see some RAID performance comparisons by someone other than another member of the forums?
Hello? Anandtech? We've been really wanting to see stuff like this for a long time. Just because you have a week when there's no new mobo or video card releases doesn't mean there's nothing you could report! Sound systems? C'mon! Price guides? Aaaaaaargh!!!
(BTW:If you guys start comparing PDA's I'm outta here!)
It's great that some new boards are out right now and everything, but during the "down" times there are TONS of interesting things you could be looking into for us!
Thoughts anyone?
