It better overclock well because I'd never take it over a KT266A board unless it would hit 333fsb and then I mite consider it.

 

[The Sauce]

Mmm...delicious. And I just finished upgrading too...

 

[xtreme2k]

How come it doesnt say it supports 333MHz FSB?

All it says is that it can be used with PC2700 RAM.

 

[Pabster]

A New VIA Chipset

The board looks nice, but I'm afraid I'll pass.

 

[Soulkeeper]

when are they gonna start putting 64bit/66mhz pci slots on the desktop boards ??
how long do you think they will wait after releasing the kt333 before they release the kt333a ???

 

[splice]

Yeah, I'll wait until the KT333A is released. You know it's going to happen.

 

[SammyBoy]

WOW!!!! so sweet......ata133 built in, usb2.0 built in, firewire built in

the reason it isnt "offically 333mhz fsb supporting" is that AMD HASNT RELEASED A 166mhz chip...cant support something before the actual to stores retail version of it is there to test

it's no joke!

look at the KT133 it didn't hit much above 110 if I remember right, and didn't support 133mhz fsb! AMD then decided to up the FSB, so Via released the KT133A which worked perfectly fine at 133mhz fsb..

I wouldn't be surprised if the KT333 does the same thing (asynchronous memory to the FSB).

 

[Soulkeeper]

hahaha yeah i am stuck with the a7v133 can't wait to upgrade the board holds me back
yeah with the kt133 chipset

If i remember correct, VIA released the KT133A chipset before AMD had released the CPUs. I bought a KT133A board the first week they were out and ran an Athlon unlocked at 147mhz bus. It took AMD sometime to get the chips out for some reason.

Yeah.. I am another proud owner of a Asus A7V ...
I want a new motherboard. This 333 is probably gonna cost a hundred and eighty four thousand dollars though. The A7V266-e is still too expensive. :|

Oh yeah .... so this COP bidness, does this read the internal diode on the XP's? This is what I want... what we all want no doubt.

 

[goog]

Another opinion to wait for the inevitable KT333A.
I don't think COP provides more accurate (diode) temps, I think it justs shuts down the computer, but I don't know for sure.

 

[LXi]

Let me just say that KT333A is going to happen, but not because of problems or issues. KT333A is going to happen because Intel will then standardize AGP8X, and that VIA has the new V-Link2 to implement, KT333's release won't catch those two features so that's why they'll have a KT333A. Of course it's inevitable, new technologies come out everyday, nothing we can do to slow it down.

nothing we can do to slow it down.



We can pray for an earthquake to rock Taiwan. If you're the religious type of course.

 

[AGodspeed]

Socket A for AMD Athlon XP/Athlon/Duron 600MHz to ~ 2GHz+

Well VIA sure seems to be confident of 2GHz+ Thoroughbreds, what about you?

 

[nortexoid]

i'm w/ pabster on this one...

won't touch the crap, and not just cuz it's gonna cost a fortune on top of having a shoddy via chipset...
