Snoop Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 you will regret that when the kt400 boards come out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rstryker Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 you will regret that when the kt400 boards come out I really dont think kt400 is gonna be that big a deal for me...maybe someone else.The KT400, which is a followup to the KT333 for the Athlon which Via is expected to launch on the 20th of this month, supports both Athlon XPs and Durons, has twin 200/266MHz front side bus support, support for DDR333 and DDR400 ECC, AGP 4X and AGP8x and will sample next month, with production in the second quarter.The only benefit for me i think would be the DDR400 support...but not that big a deal. agp8x wont really effect me for a while because i just bought this ati all n wonder radeon 7500 a couple months ago and dont plan on changing it for quite a while. by then who knows what the next big thing will be. i am just ready to move up to ddr and an athlon xp (probably 2000 or 2100) from my current athlon 1200 and pc133.

MSNwar Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 Good board, but limited.FSB 200/266, I prefer FSB 533 on the i850 chipset3 RAM Sockets, I prefer 4 RAM Sockets (4 sticks @ 256mb)If I wanted an Athlon XP I would consider this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FthrJACK Posted July 4, 2002 Author Share Posted July 4, 2002 do i see smudgy marks on the L1 bridges on that cpu? has someone been overclocking it with a naff HSF on top? Kt333 is going to be a quick flypast im affriad, KT400 is what companies are getting exited about, NVIDIA and ATI are supposed to be skipping over KT333 and launching right into the KT400 market as they both came about so close, hence you wont be seeing KT333 graphics cards and Nforce boards around.wait for KT400 if you can, or if like me you cant wait that long to get your new system up and running go for it.whats slowing my pc down at the moment is the CPU, not because its slow but because of the bus speed isnt up with the RAM, but once kt400 has been out for a while i might well remove that bottleneck, ill see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
