// The German magazine c't, which I personally greatly respect, did a
// test of a number of motherboards which can cache more than 64 MB in
// their issue 4/98.  The chipsets tested were:
// 
//  Intel 430TX
//  Ali Aladdin IV+
//  VIA Apollo VP2
//  SiS 5582
//  Intel 430HX
//  VIA Apollo VPX
// 
// The order is the order of speed in c't's BAPCo benchmark (which,
// unfortunately, is stronly Microsoft-oriented) with 64 MB main memory
// (430TX is the fastest, with a rating of 225, compared to 221 for teh
// Aladdin and the VP2).  With increasing memory, the TX performance
// drops, while the performance of the other chip sets increases.  At 72
// MB, the TX drops below Aladdin and VP2, at 96 MB (!) below the HX, and
// by 128 MB, it's down to 204, compared to 227 for the Aladdin (which by
// this time has left the VP2 behind).

Is that VIA Apollo VP2 that OEM version from AMD640 ?
