Kt266A Northbridge, 2 different steppings already?

[Deanodarlo]

Chainbolt has started an interesting thread for those with KT266A motherboards:

KT266A steppings thread.

I've managed to confirm that 2 steppings of the northbridge chip do exist, "CE" and "CD" (spirits247 is my nickname in the above forum!)

Who can add to this, or indeed tell us which stepping they have?

I'll check my AK31 Rev 3.1

From the above linked thread by me (spirits247 aka deanodarlo):

"The CE version has 0133 on it meaning week 33.

The CD version has 0138, meaning week 38. Surely that means that the KT266A CD version is the newer! Problem solved! I think

All our motherboards should come with the later CD KT266A stamped northbridges.

The preview boards had the OLDER "CE" "VT8366" week 33 stepping and ours have the NEWER "CD" "KT266A" week 37-38 stepping!"
