VT1611A AC'97 Codec
|
Azza is another manufacturer we don't hear from too often but they wanted to make a name for themselves as being one of the brave few that would release a P4X266 based motherboard.
There's nothing too unique about the P4X2-AV other than the use of VIA's own VT1611A AC'97 Codec. The sound quality of this codec was decent, and definitely better than what we heard from the ALC100 on the Acorp board.
Our biggest complaints were with the perceived stability of the P4X2-AV during our testing; the board wasn't stable at all with 3 DIMMs and wasn't stable in general compared to the other solutions. None of the other boards had as many crashes in a two day testing period as the P4X2-AV.
