Dumbfounded were we to see the last generation EPoX 8K9A2+ KT400 motherboard scoring higher than the newest EPoX 8KRA2+ KT600 motherboard. However, recollecting VIA's past track record, we realize that in one point in time, the VIA KT333 running at 166 FSB was slower than the KT266A overclocked to 166 FSB. This is evidently a vestigial anomaly plaguing the new KT600. On a brighter note, we are pleased to see the 8KRA2+ performing well at its advertised 200 FSB specification, outclassing the EPoX NForce2 Ultra motherboard.
