More reasons VIA sux!

LOL, and you thought Intel's integrated graphics was crap, take a look <A HREF="http://www.tomshardware.com/mobile/20040610/averatec-03.html" target="_new">HERE</A>! Half the performance of Intel's integrated graphics, how is that possible? It must take a company like VIA to take the crap technology from S3 and make it even worse!

Looks like via wants to do one better than Intel. Make that one worse.

LOL via screws up again, they can't do anything right and they really don't have any pressure on them

 

[Crashman]

It does sound like a race to the bottom of the septic tank, doesn't it?

Ouch, that is bad.

But why pick on Via Crash? As a matter of fact, I have a nice Soyo KT133 mobo for you. Make me an offer and the headaches can be all yours. :lol:

The way I see it, they do have a bit of marketing pressure on them, but no consumer pressure. nVidia puts the marketing pressure on, but the consumers will for the most part buy just about anything. People don't talk chipsets much, some kid goes to buy a systems and heard "Athlon" from his friends, maybe he buys an Athlon but he won't know about the rest of the system.

Wrong forum, but this part is appropriate I guess.

This is why I'd still go VIA for now.

I won't deny they have their faults, but I want at least the features this board has, plus socket 939 of course.
