• Showdown at 133 MHz FSB - Part 2, The Real McCoy*
  Wednesday 8 March 2000 – 06:00
  This time we showed no mercy. We included the good old BX-chipset and ran it at 133 MHz FSB. It had to stick up against no less than Intel's great i840-chipset and of course i820 and VIA's Apollo Pro 133A as well. The results we found are rather shocking.
• Performance Showdown at 133 MHz FSB - The best Platform for Coppermine*
  Thursday 2 March 2000 – 06:00
  Which chipset supports Intel's latest Pentium III processors best? Is it Intel's 820 chipset with the super expensive RDRAM? Is it the same chipset, but with the cheaper SDRAM? Or might it not be VIA's Apollo Pro 133A chipset in the end? We'll show you which it is.
• MSI Admits to FSB Overclocking*
  Thursday 22 May 2003 – 07:00
  Yesterday, THG showed in its Intel 865 test that MSI dynamically overclocks the FSB of its 865 Neo 2. The consequences that this has on the benchmarks: unrealistic results. Here's what MSI Taiwan has to say about it.
• VapoChill Puts a Pentium 4 with 800 MHz FSB within Reach*
  Monday 24 February 2003 – 06:00
  THG shows you what kind of performance Intel's next Pentium 4 chipset, called "Canterwood," will have to offer. A Granite Bay board, a 2.26 GHz Pentium 4 and AseTek's cooling technology made it possible for us to accelerate the test system to almost 800 MHz FSB and 3.4 GHz processor clock.
