MSI KT3 Ultra and Ultra2 : Chipset Differences

[HelzBelz]

From what I've found on MSI's Web site :

KT3 Ultra : KT333 with 8233A southbridge
KT3 Ultra2 : " with newer 8235 southbridge

Questions :

- Do all these boards ship with the KT333 "CE" chipset revision ? (... due to some reports on the Web about problems creeping up with earlier/initial KT333 releases from VIA; there seems to be no info on this from MSI).

- Are there any reports on incompatibilities/bugs (or any other comment/problem) about the Ultra2 ? (other than the 8235 specific added features)


Reason : I got a deal on 10 x KT3 Ultra retail boards (inventory clearance from local store, making room for the Ultra2), and want to make sure that the "batch" is safe, or what to expect from it, and/or if I should get Ultra2 boards instead (much more expensive compared to the deal I have now...)



I'm referring to the plain versions ONLY (no RAID, non "ARU" models)...

Thanks.

Edited: I did a little more research, and found a few early KT3 Ultra with the "CD" revision of KT333. Anyone with such a board ? Any problems ?

C'mon ! Anyone ?

With so many boards sold, there's go to be someone with experience with the questions I have, above...

Thanks.
