Here is the memory benchmark at default settings with no
tweaking. This is what you can expect if you just install the CPU and do nothing
else.
You can improve the RAM score quite a bit by changing a couple
of variables in the BIOS. Setting the DIMM speed to 133 Mhz and setting the DIMM
Interleaving to "Auto" (it is disabled by default). Then set the performance
mode to "optimal" and this is what you'll get. Eat your heart out Intel.
I didn't have an ATA 100 drive to test the ATA100 controller,
but the A7V gave excellent performance with the Maxtor ATA66 hard drive.
Overall, the A7V offers great performance out of such an
inexpensive CPU. You really can't complain when your motherboard takes a $60 CPU
to 900Mhz.
