THG heeft een review gemaakt van twee VIA Apollo Pro 133A plankjes die hun grote roundup gemist hadden, de Abit VT6X4 en de Soyo SY-6VCA. Beide plankjes bleken heel goed te presteren ten opzichte van de competitie en daarom is het volgens hun ook niet een slechte keus om een van deze twee plankjes te nemen als je iets wil hebben met de Apollo Pro chipset:
I think you can imagine what I thought after finishing my tests: "Hey, that was great!" I got no problems and excellent performance. There are certainly a lot of people out there who still are a bit sceptical towards VIA platforms. Looking back into the last years, such an opinion may be well-founded. Driver issues and performance deficits have been VIAs companions for a long time, but recently VIA has improved a whole lot. Admittedly, even today there's still some trouble: Some days ago, we published a short article showing some issues between Windows 2000 and VIA KX133.
Nevertheless, VIA is heading into the right direction. The KX133 issue shows that they are doing small steps, but the improvement is noticable and problems get solved. Boards like the ABit VT6X4 and Soyo's SY-6VCA show once again that products using a VIA chipset can be absolutely problem-free - just as what Intel-based products used to be known for... some time ago ... ?
