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 ?
