VIA's KT333: The Athlon gets DDR333

The Memory

Officially, there is no such thing as DDR333 SDRAM. Many manufacturers have already been shipping DDR333 or PC2700 SDRAM which is essentially memory that they have tested internally to work at DDR333 speeds. In the next month JEDEC will finalize a DDR333 specification and afterwards you'll begin to see officially sanctioned DDR333 DIMMs on the market.

There are many DDR266 modules that will work at DDR333 speeds and thus we were able to test the KT333 without any problems.
