It DOES exist! We've been waiting for KX133 boards to show up for quite some time now and now we know someone has at least one... From AMDZone (http://www.amdzone.com/) : "KX133 Board Is Here!-Chris 'ruiner' Tom 1:46 p.m. CST I just picked up the sample board from Via with the KX133 chipset. It's in micro ATX format with an AMR, AGP, and 2 PCI slots. It also includes on board sound, wake on modem and wake on lan, 4 massive heatsinks on the voltage regulators, 2 dimm slots, two thermal sensors, to 3 pin power connectors, 2 usb ports, 2 serial ports and 20 dip switches. Of course the most important thing is the Via KX133 chipset. According to the documentation with the board the supported bus speeds are 66, 75, 79, 83, 100, 110, 115, 120, 124, 129, 133, 138, and 143 with PCI dividers of 2, 3, and 4." That's a lot of bus speeds and PCI dividers. He needs to hurry up and test it for us. ;)

Another thing that exists: Athlon servers From AMD's website: "AMD.com utilizes web servers with both AMD-K6®-III and AMD Athlon™ processors. The list below illustrates components of our server configurations: AMD Athlon - 650 MHz and AMD-K6-III - 400 MHz 512 and 384 MB ECC Memory FIC SD11 and 2013 Motherboard Adaptec 2940U2W SCSI Controller 2 x 9.1 GB Hard Drives IDE and SCSI CDROM Rack mountable case" amd.com I wonder why AMD is using the 650MHz Athlon rather than a higher speed. I think the .25 650 requires the most power of all Athlons. And isn't the SD11 the motherboard that had problems when it first came out and the same one which is the pickiest when it comes to which power supply it will work with? Maybe AMD is stress testing the platform. It's nice to see AMD is using the same Super 7 MB I have in my computer. ;)
