Tom's KT266A review is up tomshardware.com

VIA will have all reasons to feel proud and happy now, even though the release of NVIDIA's nForce chipset is still pending. While KT266A may not be able to keep the performance lead amongst the Athlon DDR chipsets, it will most certainly continue to provide the best performance for the money, as nForce-boards are expected to be rather expensive. The good overall performance of VIA's Apollo KT266A chipset has now raised the bar for nForce by more than just one notch. The single-channel DDR solution nForce220 should provide at least the same performance as KT266A, while nForce420 and its double-channel DDR design will have to beat VIA's new product to avoid embarrassments.

Overall we can note another win for AMD's Athlon and Duron processors, as the release of VIA's Apollo KT266 chipset just made them faster. Let's hope that this process will continue with the release of NVIDIA's nForce chipset. With AMD's recent price cuts due to its struggle against the clock frequency lead of Pentium 4, informed buyers can now purchase even faster Athlon systems for comparably little money.
