PC Stats has posted a review on the VIA P4XB-RA P4X266A Motherboard



With no official support from Tier 1 motherboard manufacturers for the VIA Apollo P4X266A chipset VIA had to do something rather drastic for a chipset manufacturer - they had to start selling their own motherboards. For a company with a focus on silicon chips this is no small task, so while VIA began selling their own motherboards they relied on partnerships with other companies to make them.

The VIA P4XB-RA is based on the VIA P4X266A chipset which supports Socket m478 400 MHz Pentium 4 CPU's (Williamette or Northwood) from 1.5 GHz to 2.2 GHz+. The board has 3 DIMM slots supporting up to 3 GB of non-ECC PC1600/2100 DDR266 RAM (5 banks). While we don't have any 1 GB DIMM's to test with, we did test the board with three 256 MB PC2400 DIMMs and saw no stability problems.
