ABIT ci da ulteriore conferma delle intenzioni di AMD di adottare a breve un FSB a 333MHz DDR per i processori Athlon XP, soprattutto nei modelli di punta, dove una maggior ampiezza di banda si fa sentire particolarmente rispetto a versioni meno pompate in termini di frequenza. A questo indirizzo, x-bit labs ce ne parla dettagliatamente:

ABIT said that all their VIA KT400 based mainboards support 333MHz FSB. There are currently three such devices from this company: KD7-RAID, KD7 and AT7-Max2. The company has not disclosed if their VIA KT333 powered products support this useful feature, so, although we know that KT333 can function with 333MHz FSB, EPoX even guarantees this ability, we cannot declare it for ABIT. Unfortunately, we still have no information if all KT333 based mainboards are able to work with the upcoming AMD CPUs.
