Are there really no experience with VIA KT333?

PC Configurations, motherboards, etc, etc

I just can't believe, that nobody from the pulsar users has experience with a motherboard containing the KT333-Chip from VIA.

All the remarks in this forum concerning VIA-Chipsets are outdated now. Everybody just claims, that VIA Chipsets are generally bad. But can somebody tell me by experience?

I have to buy a new motherboard, because mine (A7V133) has this often mentioned PCI-Problem. So what shall I buy, if I want to stay at AMD Athlons?

Thank you in advance for replies

I bought a VIA chipset motherboard, MSI694Dpro. I could not load a reverb. Not even after weeks (idd!) of tweaking.

I sold the VIA mobo.

I bought an Intel chipset mobo. Acorp6A815EPD. I can load 12 reverbs at minimum latency.

Spot the difference :wink:

Try and nforce chipset perhaps http://www.planetz.com/forums/viewtopic ... forum=19&1
I will test this board myself shortly.

But the kt333 has been discussed before;

Avoid KT333; I believe it still has the PCI errors from VIA. They say the KT400 finally fixes this long standing PCI bug... want to be the first to try and report with Creamware cards? :smile:
