kt133a - someone fill me in...

[Daudi]

Okay could someone please tell me what this is...I haven't been in the scene for quite a while and I'm planning on building a new system soon so I need to know if I have to wait until this thing is released. I read the whole tidbit on kt133a boards on anandtech.com but I'm still a little confused. Mainly I just want to know if they are compatible with all the t-bird chips out there. I'm planning on getting a 1ghz t-bird, so will this be compatible with the kt133a boards or will I have to get all the LATEST stuff to be compatible. I don't know what all this 200mhz fsb, 266mhz fsb stuff means, sorry!! Help me out, thanks!

Unless I am mistaken,

KT133 = 100FSB
KT133a = 100 or 133FSB

1Ghz TBird I think still only comes in 100FSB, 133FSB to follow.
It will run on a KT133a.
The question I want to know is if you unlock a 1Ghz 100FSB TBird & change its multiplyer to 7.5 will it run OK on a 133FSB = 1GHz.

The 100/133 is on a DDR bus, effective 200/266 I believe.

I think I remember the post anandtech wrote about all this says that you can...

I'm looking at the 1.1GHz athlon so let me know what you find out!!! Which one can use the DDRAM?
