VIA KT333

[Bugsy]

Anybody know when it's coming out? Or when we will se boards equiped with the KT333? Do you recommend waiting for it instead of just going with the KT266 ?

Thanks

unless the chipset is going to be able to run athlons at 166 FSB, I wouldn't bother with it. You're just going to want a new chipset when the 166 FSB athlons come out, and there will be little performance advantages with the KT333.

KT333 will support the 166 FSB.

Currently, AMD has no plans to introduce 166FSB Athlons.

Wrong on both counts, AA0.

I have seen plans for AMD to release 166FSB, it won't happen for a while though. Are you sure the KT333 supports 166FSB? It could be like the KT133 which just supports RAM at that speed, and not the bus. VIA does do that...

AA0 where have you seen reports of 166fsb Athlons???

does the alpha 8045 require any mod to fit XP333-R? It's not listed on the Alpha site. Thanks!

the XP333 was designed by overclockers for overclockers, I'm guess all HSFs fit.

I can't remember where I saw the 166FSB schedule, it was on the news of a site I can't even remember right now. You won't see them till sometime after .13 microns are here.
