Via chipsets question

I was wondering if anyone or has heard that the pIII-s (Tualatin with 512k cache) on a VIA based board(IE Asus TUV4X) (Via Apollo Pro 133T). I was reading up on some of the topics here in the forum, and most people where able to with the intel based 815-b step. According to what I was able to find the Asus TUSL2-C LINK

"Question :
Does TUSL2-C support PIII Tualatin with 512KB L2 cache?
Answer :
No, PIII Tualatin is targeted at Server level board. It's not supported on TUSL


So basically does the via based tualatin chipsets support the PIII-S?
 
You need a pro133TE to run the tulatin, I have no clue if the tualie works on the pro 133Tthough...
 
Excuse me ... the Pro133T is the (T)ualatin compatible chip, and ASUS T... mainboard series have the T for the same reason.

Point about the "server" and "desktop" Tualatins is that Intel don't want the "server" ones (read: those with 512 KBytes of L2 cache) to appear in the desktop market (conspiracy theorists might say that's because those cheap and fast chips would keep people from upgrading to the expensive P4). Nonetheless, they don't need any extra "support" over what their 256-KByte brothers need anyway.
