Notes

We used the latest AGP drivers for both the K7V and K7 Pro. Also, Super Bypass was enabled on the K7 Pro. The memory bus on the K7V was set for 133MHz in all tests.

To give you an idea of the maximum performance of the K7V and the KX133 chipset in general, we included overclocked scores on the 105MHz front side bus. Due to time contraints, we were unable to include K7 Pro overclocked numbers.
