Via's 333mhz bus mobo's?

[meaty]

Ok I see these things are already to ship but:
Will they give any performence when there is no CPU with a 333mhz supported bus yet?
Or will the pc2700 RAM alone give some performence.
Also did they fix there PCI issues on these boards?

From the write-up I saw, the KT333 was looking a bit weak considering.. but the KT333A will be nice, it was like the KT133A vs KT266, the KT133A performed pretty much on par with the DDR chipset! it's the same with the 266A and the 333... the 333A will be sweet.

About how long till the 333A is available?

Not sure, it's usually a quarter or a half before the next revision is out.. (commonly)

No. There will be no performance advantage for KT333(A) without a 166fsb unfortunately. And AMD has said that T-Bred will be a 266fsb part so, from a performance perpective, forget KT333(A). Really what will make KT333A is it's features (USB2, ATA/133, etc) nothing more.

Well TbreaK has reviewed a couple of the boards and they do provide a performance boost. All be it not a big one but one none the less. So for the same price I see no reason if a person is buying in the near future for them not to take a KT333 board over a KT266a.
