KT600 chipset worth a try?

[rbuck]

I was considering some variety of board with the KT600 chipset. Is this a good idea? Have a system now with an Asus KT400. I am not a heavy duty game player.

I don't think you'll be getting much extra performance from the KT600 unless you plan on getting a 3200+ cpu.

The price tag on those boards aren't even much lower then a much more feature-full nForce2 board so you might as well get one of those.

Unless you're a VIA loyalist, in which case, shoot.

OMG is there really such a thing as a Via loyalist?
