Hexus reviews the P4X266A chipset motherboard directly from VIA
We feel that the VIA P4X266A P4PA's performance certainly entitles it to be considered as a viable option when choosing a P4 motherboard. Its surprisingly adjustable BIOS allows one to get the most out of the chipset. The original VIA P4X266 was competitive in the performance stakes but times have moved on. The enhanced memory controller and deepened queues mean that its performance is at least on a par with that of the Intel I845D, often eclipsing it by the smallest of margins.
