Anandtech komt ons voor de tweede keer dit jaar verblijden met een roundup tussen verschillende moederborden die gebruik maken van de Via Apollo Pro 133A chipset. Ze testen 9 nieuwe plankjes tegen de vorige winnaar van de roundup: de Asus P3V4X. Er is niet veel veranderd sinds de laatste roundup, de Asus P3V4X is nog steeds een van de snelste planken, maar er zijn nu wel meer planken op de markt gekomen die de snelheid en features van Asus evenaren :
With the P3V4X from ASUS coming in as the winner from 5 months ago, we added 9 other boards in order to make this roundup complete. Because of the P3V4X's presence, we omitted the ASUS CUV4X which is pretty much identical to the P3V4X in terms of performance and stability, the only differences being that it is a Socket-370 solution and it takes advantage of the VIA 686A South Bridge whereas the P3V4X uses the dated 596B South Bridge.
Running alongside the ASUS P3V4X were the following contenders: the AOpen AX34 Pro, AOpen AX64 Pro, Azza 694TX, Gainward 6VBA-133A, Microstar 694D Pro, Microstar MS-6309, QDI Advance 10A, Soyo SY-6VCA, and the Soyo SY-7VCA.
[...] While quite a bit has changed since our last VIA 133A roundup, especially the introduction of many new boards and much needed performance and stability optimizations across the board, the end result is pretty much the same. The ASUS P3V4X remains a solid board that simply does everything very well. Tweakers and overclockers will love it as will those that simply demand a high performance, but stable motherboard solution. ASUS's excellent support in the form of continual BIOS updates certainly doesn't hurt either. For those reasons, the ASUS P3V4X continues to hold its Editor's Choice Gold crown.
