Hmmm, you got me. I'm familiar with most chipsets, but not an AMD chipset...can you name a board that uses AMD chipsets?...I will do some studies on it..Tnx.

There are Gigabyte boards that use the AMD chipset for socket A. I was just wondering if is was any better that the VIA chipsets.

Thanks

Well, I didn't find anything specific, but I did find a Gigabyte mobo forum. Maybe you could nose around there and ask a question or two. Guess there really is an AMD chipset... I learned something too...

i personally like the KT133A chip over all AMD chipset except of corse the ddr chipsets from AMD are real nice
