Even though I have small hands, everytime I removed the videocard my finger would nudge that capacitor and that's not very comforting. This codec offers genuine improvements over the standard AC97 that ships with most motherboards.
The KTA boasted an enhanced North bridge with a far more efficient memory controller coupled with deeper memory buffers. Bios duty is handled by AMI, version 3.
Firstly let's have a look at the KT chipset in a little more detail. Msii difference from synchronous to asynchronous modes is around marks, although only a nominal 1. The ample bandwidth afforded by DDR seems more suited to the role.

Overclocking The impressive overclocking options coupled with our new XP processor from AMD ensured that we would be furnished with a reasonable overclock. The KT3 Ultra comes packing a total of 4 fan headers, with one automatically taken up by the active Northbridge heatsink.
RAID 0 simply amalgamates 2 drives so that they work as a single larger drive. We're using Xmpeg 2.

We can look back to the Sisoft Sandra unenhanced memory benchmarks for an explanation of the results. We aound frankly astonished at the difference that an improved memory controller along with deeper internal buffers made.
Since the data is divided equally and written on two hard drives it also increases the data bandwidth by two. The close-knit performance from various motherboard manufacturers highlighted the maturity of the chipset, rarely did we see a poor motherboard.
We had a couple of niggles about the layout, the placing of the ATX connector was somewhat strange. Firstly, let's have a look at Fastest.

DVD encoding is another activity that thrives on memory bandwidth. Thankfully, we have more than enough room around the CPU socket to mount large coolers. It seems as if Via are more than content with the performance of the KTA chipset as no major performance enhancements are evident with the KT Instead you have to use the plus and minus keys to scroll through a list of FSB settings from - MHz, which is a tad irritating.
The current BIOS for the board supports the new Thoroughbred core and all voltage adjustments are supported in the setup. Benchmarks were run 3 times consecutively and an average score was taken.
As soon as you open the rather heavy motherboard box, you just know that a considerable amount of thought has been put into the board and package. Please bear these speeds in mind when comparing results.
Generally, when one IDE drive fails the system usually locks up anyway.
A small capacitor flanks the AGP port. Unfortunately, on our board at least, there is no accompanying jumper. Backwardly compatible with Kh3 1. At first glance, the numbers look disarmingly similar.

Subjective listening revealed that whilst not on a par with Nforce's excellent APU, the on-board solution was more than adequate for general Windows duty, we'd say it was on a par with C-Media's excellent 87xx series kkt3 codecs. We see the standard 5 PCI slots bit, 33Mhz along with a rather redundant CNR slot, we'd wish motherboard manufacturers would dispense with these.
We sounnd the benchmark at Fastest and xx32 Quality. Heck you never can have too many right!
We'd hazard a guess that the motherboard platform is irrelevant for this test. The rather stylish Northbridge heatsink dominates the middle half of the board.
MSI has historically been rather conservative in their performance manipulation options, something that appears to have changed somewhat with the KT3.
