VIA's KT333: The Athlon gets DDR333

The Chipset

The KT333 chipset is comprised of two parts as usual, the KT333 North Bridge and the VT8233A South Bridge.

The KT333 North Bridge is identical to the KT266A North Bridge with the exception of the memory controller which now officially supports DDR333 SDRAM. The FSB interface remains unchanged and only officially supports 100/133MHz operation.

The VT8233A South Bridge is identical to the VT8233 South Bridge with the addition of Ultra ATA 133 support.

The two chips are connected using VIA's V-Link interconnect bus and as usual the chips are pin compatible with the previous KT266A chipset.
