Ok, I haven't read the review yet, but I have a feeling that this board will not perform as well as others. Because MSI always releases boards first among the rest, but from the previous boards, you all know that it has a performance problem. (I am referring to the KT266 specifically)

DDR-333 doesn't really have much advantage over DDR-266...... (on Athlon platform)

 

[The Sauce]

Ehh...I'm not upgrading again until Serial-ATA. Not much performance difference here.

Interesting review and good graphs. I was hoping to see the KT333 with more of an advantage.

Once we have Thoroughbreads in our rigs, we will see that

me waits for serial ata and faster fsb.

Not true, the Athlon cant take advantage of the extra bandwith, so the Athy is to blame.

The P4 definitely likes DDR333 memory over DDR266 memory.

Duh! P4 LOVES as much memory as you can throw at it, see RDRAM.

Benches aren't really impressive. :Q

 

[LukFilm]

Of course not. The only improvement is in DDR RAM, nothing else. I think mobo manufacturers shouldn't even bother with this one, save their money and just wait when 166MHz FSB Athlon comes out and THEN make a kick-ass motherboard with USB 2.0, RAID, 4 DIMM slots etc.

Isn't VIA coming out with the KT333A chipset soon?
