MSI KT3 Ultra Review!

Published by

T-Break seems to have a premiere here. They review MSI's VIA KT333 solution. This board is feature packed as one can get: USB 2.0, Onboard ATA133 as per VIA VT8233A southbridge, Promise 20276 ATA-133 RAID controller supporting four additional hard drives and Realtek ALC650 6-channel audio. Here is a snip from the review: VIA's KT333 is the third chipset for the Athlon platform that is aiming to bring PC-2700 or DDR-333 into mainstream. We looked at the first two chipsets supporting this faster type of memory- the ALi Magik in the form of Iwill's XP-333 and SiS 745 in the form of ECS K7S6A. Unfortunately, both the chipsets disappointed as far as DDR-333 performance was concerned. Would VIA be able to succeed where ALi and SiS failed? We'll find it out today with the MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU motherboard, based on the highly anticipated KT333 chipset. Read the full hardware scoop here.
