Roundup (8 Boards) @ Tech Report
Zitat
The big question on the minds of many PC enthusiasts is whether VIA's KT600 has a chance at toppling the well-entrenched nForce2 as the best chipset choice for Socket A. Unfortunately, the answer isn't an easy yes or no. Let me explain.

The results of our testing clearly show that the nForce2 platform is faster for content creation, rendering, speech recognition, and gaming. If you're looking for top performance, it's still the way to go. However, the KT600 does highlight a number of nForce2 deficiencies, including weak USB performance and a lack of south bridge Serial ATA. From a features perspective, the nForce2 looks a little dated next to the KT600, whose performance really isn't all that far off in many of our tests.

While power-hungry users are still better off with nForce2 boards, the KT600 is quite an attractive platform for feature-driven enthusiasts who don't mind losing a couple of frames per second here and there. The fact that KT600 boards don't need two DIMMs for optimal performance is just icing on the cake.
