Sounds like a silly question, but it's a total unknown to me. I have some old cards, Pentium II, Pentium III, good cards like SOYO 6BA+, Asus P2-99, and even a soyo with UltraDMA66, but NONE of them is as agile and fast as this simple K6-2 500mhz on the Asus P5a. I did several tests, and it's not just my delusion, the benchmarks prove it.
My question is, what makes this card so special?
My configuration:
AMD K6-2 500mhz
1x 256MB PC100 Kigston
1x 80GB ATA133 HD
A simple dvd rom drive
Geforce 2 MX200 64mb agp
Sound Blaster CT3670
To test the other cards, I used the exact same hardware, with the exception of the AMD K6. I used it on the other cards: Celeron 300, P2 450, and P3 550E.
I suspect that maybe my P5A has a higher quality IDE controller, which makes better use of my modern HD, but I'm not sure, that's why I wanted your opinion!
