I used a Viper v770 in my motherboard, placed a GF4 mx440 in there and I DID see a performance increase. I've also tried other cards that are supposed to be equal to with a nearly exact setup the only difference was the HD as I recall, was smaller. and I saw the results myself it's too bad I don't have the screenshots anymore they were lost in a HD crash on my 40 gig HD. LOL it's too bad you don't think I have any credibility. and I'm not spamming the forum, if you think I am spamming then turn me in to an admin. and DON'T Flame ME just because I only have a few posts. RE READ your LIT too! the same KT400 board got the best reviews even after the 735 chipset came out! and NOTE I DID SAY FOR THE SOCKET A platform! and that was BEFORE the newer chipset cameout with the Nforce chip. which I PROUDLY own. CHOOSE YOUR FLAMES CAREFULY IRON! I dont' care if you have over 11,100 posts! I've frequented the anandtech site more times in the last 4 years than you have posts! I admit I may have gone a bit overboard in my point, but If you think really hard about it and check more on your information you will see I am right. I don't care if I'm wrong about the intel bit, but I do have quite a bit of credibility. I've been posting on forums for several years on and off. I even have posts on the amd forums from earlier this year late last year. NOBODY there seems to question my credibility. I even have posted on some of the mod sites. which ones, I'll get a list and post it somewhere that's appropriate!
The KT400A Ultra mainboard was posted here on anandtech as the highest rated kt400 mainboard when it first came out. Toms hardware had it posted also as one of the highest marked kt400 series boards. you are confusing the MSI KT400A ultra board with the previous line of boards, unfortunatly I can NOT remember the model chipset. I do know for a fact that the NForce chipsets were designed as and do in FACT help with graphics. I had a couple friends that had the exact same video card and non Nforce chipsets we did tests with the same software also they had the same memory and same HD as I did at the time. the tests showed that the Nforce chipset WAS faster. Mind you it WAS not that noticable but it was faster.

LOL

KT400 and KT400a are 2 very different things. I have actually owned an MSI K4V-L mb with the KT400 chipset. Its an average board with mediocre performance. I am currently using an Epox 8RDA+ with an XP 2800+ cpu. I have used SIS based boards like the K7S5A and the M810. I currently use an ECS 741GX mb with an XP2500+ cpu for my HTPC. All of my SIS based boards are rock solid stable.

I have used video cards running the gamut from a 3DFX Voodoo3 3000, GF2 GTS, ATI 9600XT to my current BFG 6800GS (agp).

As for your tests; variables beyond the video card exist. This is why doing tests requires a lot of knowledge about how things work, esp drivers.

Be that as it may, with so few posts and the first ones directed at spewing FUD with unfounded statements leads other posters to believe your only purpose here is to stir up trouble. If I am wrong, so be it.

BTW: Peter has serious credibility here, with tremendous knowledge and a willingness to help others. You only have lots of opinions.
