Doug, For all the bitching and moaning people do about via, tell me how well you think Athlons would be selling without the KT133 and KT133a. They finally got those northbridges right, after the CPUs have been on the market 1 year. Let's not forget about the delays of the whole Socket A line because KT133 was late. And then there is the latest soundbridge bug, less than ideal hard drive speeds of all Via drivers. Why do you thnk there was a need for KT133 and KT133A? Could it be because Via dropped the ball and the KT133A could not work at 133 MHz FSB? Joe
