Let’s take a look at some benchmarks of this memory running at 100Mhz FSB with no twists whatever. So as to provide us a first benchmark to begin. Not looking good by any means, though we are well below this memory's rated settings. Just below that of old tried and true Intel BX chipset, and well below that of KT133 and KT133a chipsets. Let’s take a look at how far things go up when we hit up to 133 MHz FSB and allow Turbo settings with CAS-2 in the Bios.

Now we are getting somewhere that VIA KT133A chipset is incredible. The memory performance rivaling that of the stock BX, KT133 and KT133A chipsets, and advancing near DDR PC2100 levels of performance. The Mushkin is taking each bit of this performance and running like a champ. But still at below rated settings that is150 MHz FSB.

Now Mushkin taking it all at 150 MHz FSB with all memory settings maxed, Turbo, Cas2, 4-way interleave, all goodies enabled. You will see at these speeds, Mushkin is outperforming about each chipset in crowd to contain Intel's now defunct 840 chipset, but with exception of AMD 760 DDR. So, as Mushkin has declared, this memory hangs tough at its rated settings and then some. You will see that ALU at 150 MHz is less than it was at 133 MHz with Integer stream results. My theory is that VIA chipset natively supports the 133FSB speed, but overclocking and running at 150 MHz FSB is throwing some mismatches within the data path itself and causing troubles there in.

Now I am sure some of you want to know just how much can this memory take? Does it overclock even higher than it's already rated speeds?
