THG Puts 13 Bleeding-Edge Memory Modules, 14 Mobos To the Match-Up Test

Abit KV8 - VIA K8T800

BIOS: Mar 04, 2004

The Abit board performed well with most of the memory modules in this test. However, the picture is clouded by wrongly set timings with the modules from GeIL AND OCZ and by problematic errors with the modules from Infineon and TwinMOS. In the case of the former, the benchmark Prime95 produced a fatal error, and the latter already caused a total crash during booting.
