The ever-popular Sandra should indicate
just how good Abit's latest board really is...

Strong numbers are on display here, the
board's performance levels are almost identical to the
excellent KR7A.

Here we can clearly observe the relatively
small gain offered by running your memory at 166MHz.
The FSB clearly limits data transfer and thus we see
only minimal gains from the KT333 chipset. These are
still great scores though, regardless of the limits
of the chipset. Abit have certainly optimized the memory
architecture of this board . Also remember you have
the chance to use four DIMMS if you wish, an option
that may be more usual for those dealing with huge files
or those who indulge in high resolution graphical tasks.
