Where the 7VT600 1394 really falls short is in the enthusiast market. The lack of an AGP/PCI lock is a glaring disadvantage for overclockers, especially compared to mature nForce2 motherboards with adjustable AGP/PCI locks. The 7VT600 1394’s overclocking disadvantage is best exemplified by the relatively low 205MHz FSB overclock we achieved; nForce2 Ultra 400 motherboards reach considerably higher FSB overclocks, mostly over 218MHz FSB and as high as 235MHz FSB. At stock speeds, the 7VT600 1394 is also slower than nForce2 Ultra 400 motherboards, although the difference does not become severe until you reach our workstation benchmarks. Still, VIA has had more than enough time to tweak the KT600, and so the fact that KT600 is still slower than the 9+ months old nForce2 chipset is unacceptable for enthusiasts.
