 <p class="artcont">Perfomance boost due to replacing Athlon 700 MHz with 1 GHz CPU is 
 noticeable on the most powerful videocards only. All others do not show 
 any speed improvements. The following statements are worthy of separate 
 notes:
 <ul>
 <li> 3dfx Voodoo5 5500 shows noticeable perfomance boost after CPU change; 
 </li>
 <li>A number of cards show paradoxical perfomance decrease (though insignificant) 
 after replacing Athlon 700 MHz with 1 GHz. This may be cause of 'raw' 
 VIA drivers and 'raw' BIOSes of VIA KT133-based motherboards.</li></ul>
