  • VIA133A            N/A

  • 815E Pro            91.7

 

As you can see from these results, the 815E Pro sits right in between the two at high bus speeds. At 650MHz, both the VIA 133A and the 815E Pro were able to gain a higher score due to the ability of both chipsets running the memory at 133MHz. With a 150MHz bus, the BX system wasn't totally stable.

This was mainly caused by: the heavily overclocked AGP bus speed and the Leadtek GeForce 2 board not running totally stable. At 1008MHz, the only one left standing was the 815E Pro. I would have like to of tried 1008MHz with the Asus P3V4X, but the revision of this board had the newer clock generator, which limited the bus speed to a max of 150MHz.

3DMark takes really good advantage of the higher AGP clock speed of the overclocked BX system. Another interesting point of interest is at the 650MHz level. Even though the 815E Pro and the VIA 133A boards ran the memory 33MHz faster with AGP 4X, the BX system was able to match them.
