*****KT 133A = Not Worth The Wait !!*****

Simply Problematic.Sandra shows 1/4 pci divisor does not work(stays at 1/3 at 133 FSB)Very similar Memory scores can be obtianed on KT 133 boards.Maybe they will be OK for the 266 DDR,but as i see it,there there is no signifigant gain to warrant purchasing one of these boards if you already have a KT 133 and don't intend to go 266.
FLAME AT WILL !

i'm sure if there is a problem it will be fixed with a bios update shortly

Before your go shooting off your mouth about the KT133a you should get your facts straight. If you go to SiSoft's site you will see that there program Doesn't fully support the KT133a's new Chipset....IE: VT82C686B Southbridge. If you go there and READ you will see that they state there is a problem reading the divider for the agp/pci busses correctly. What Bus speed are you running your rig at. If you arn't trying 133 and higher then yes.............memory scores will not be much different

i am more than sure if you run 100 fsb on kt133a, sure you will get the same score. but if you run 133 fsb on the kt133a, or even better, o/c it to 150+ (which i have heard of), it's gonna blow away the kt133 (which can't get higher than 115 in general) in terms of performance.

there is a reason for the new chipset to come.

Since when did Infineon produce 7ns DRAM??

SiSoft is not accurate with KT133/KT133a chipset. That's been proven long ago. Where were you?

Ouch!

Smackdown!

That had to hurt.

"or even better, o/c it to 150+ (which i have heard of)"

Yes, it can be overclocked to 150+FSB...like I did. See below...

Check it out

BTW - My memory scores at 150 are 641/701...isn't that better than a KT133 board?

CHILLIBOY......No,i didn't read about problems with Sandra and KT 133A,so you have done me a favor by letting me know,although you could have been a little more mature about it.You should be able to figure my FSB if you also do your homework.
PILLAGE.......My Infineon is 7.5 to be exact.:Q
DARRIN..............It didn't hurt at all,i expected such feedback toward this post,so i'm not surprised by the flames

Sandra? Bah!
