The Technology

Looking at the features of the KT333 chipset you would be forgiven for thinking you have seen this before. It is basically the same chipset as the KT266a, although for those of you with older KT266a boards the VT8233a Southbridge will be new. The main thing that this chipset brings to the floor here is the official support for DDR333 memory.
