Hey everyone, this may be old news here, but I just read on ACE's hardware
that he got information about the KT333 being released in March. Hopefully
this means that it will have a 166mhz FSB support and that the .13micron
Athlons will also have 166fsb support when they are released around that
time. I hope it isn't like the SIS 745 chipset where it still works at 133mhz FSB
but has support for DDR333 (which makes the DDR333 utterly useless).

Not "useless"

SiS 745 supports 133/166 operation -- allowing the RAM to run at full speed. There is supposedly an issue with asychronous operation, but I've not seen it or heard it *****CONFIRMED***** anywhere :D
