Bij Hardware One is een review te vinden van de MS-6309 moederplank van Microstar met de popi VIA Apollo Pro 133A chipset. Dankzij de goede overklokbaarheid van dit plankje had een Coppermine 550 geen moeite om op 806MHz te draaien. Hieronder een hap uit de conclusie:
Let's take a step back together and recall just what performance features the MS-6309 has to offer over the venerable BX motherboards:AGP4x UDMA 66 support High FSB support (133MHz++) For now, AGP4x and UDMA66 support does not really provide much of a performance boost. In the case of the AGP4x, either drivers are not mature or software has been been written to take advantage of it. In the case UDMA66, the drives are simply not spinning fast enough yet.
The only real niche where the VIA Apollo Pro 133A is a clear winner over the tweaked out BX-chipset is in high FSB support. To put it in straight talk -- Coppermine overclocking! In this regard, the MS-6309 implementation of the VIA Apollo Pro 133A offers improved performance in every category over the BX chipset. This is one motherboard that is going to stay in my casing for a little while longer.
