VIA KT266: Second Round K.O.

Memory Bandwidth - Linpack

Right out of the gates we see that the K7T266 Pro with the 1.0B9 BIOS offers more memory bandwidth, at least according to Linpack, than the previous champ.  The improvement over the unmodified K7T266 Pro with the shipping BIOS revision is 24%.

The improvement offered over the AMD 760 based ASUS A7M266 is 10%, it seems like our soldering and BIOS flashing was well worth it this early on.

The leaked 1.0B10 BIOS does not offer as high of a performance point as the 1.0B9 BIOS did, however it is still greater than what the original BIOS we tested with was able to provide.
