This is the 5th KT266 board we have tested and the results are very encouraging. This can be observed from the performance figures obtained in the benchmarks. VIA seems to be very committed in getting their KT266 rectified as quickly as possible after the first few KT266 mass production products were bugged with performance issues and some samples we received improved drastically in performance after removing resistors.
