Soltek SL-PT880Pro-FGR: VIA Dual-Channel for the Pentium 4

3.2E & 3.2EE: Workstation Performance
We see a different pattern in Workstation Performance of the Soltek PT880Pro running the 3.2E and 3.2EE. With the 3.2C, the PT880 led in 3 of the 6 benchmarks; with the 3.2E and 3.2EE, the Intel 875 is the top performer in all 6 tests. This again suggests that the PT880Pro may need a bit more tweaking for Prescott and EE processors. With a more mature BIOS, we will likely see even better performance in Workstation benchmarks with the 2 newest processors.

RE: how did it work - so far it is working great, but there appears to be an issue with the Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro running at AGP 8X setting, though.yak8998 - Monday, February 23, 2004 - link
I skimmed through the article, and was very pleased, especially about the price/features. But then I read about the trashy OC abilities. If they can get this chipset to overclock like an 865/875 board it will be one of the best chipsets to date (and they have to keep the price low)KristopherKubicki - Monday, February 23, 2004 - link
PT880 is kind of an intermediate chipset, i am more interested in pt890.Kristopher

Snide, How did that PT880 work out for ya?snide23 - Monday, February 23, 2004 - link
Odd that this is the first board they have seen with the PT880 chipset. NewEgg has been selling the MSI Neo PT880 for a while now. I have already built one system with it.
