When will the K7T266 be loaded with the new revision of the chip

The "Experts" say, some rviews say that the KT266 chipset + DDR are not a big performance jump. 10% or so. AMD761 chipset seems to be better for DDR. I don't know, but I reproduce here what I've been reading, out there. greenpoint

Motherboard, which one?

Thanks, guys. Dracodbj, the UltraATA card is cheap enough to be considered. Yes, I know about the transforming procedure with only one resistor. Honestly, it is my initial plan, since some year ago. The Asus A7M266 could be a good choice for this combination. Thanks. Moes Tavern, This board is...

DDR OR NOT?

More and more confused. from Toms Hardware: << A KT266 review of the German online magazine 'CHIP Online' that had been published very ambitiously in English was recently raising hopes that VIA's Apollo KT266 chipset would not perform as poorly as what had been seen by many reviewers in the...

When will the K7T266 be loaded with the new revision of the chip

Hmmm, I don't care about USB 2.0. Have anybody had some severe issues with the K7T266-Pro. Raid or non Raid ? Do not point to reviews, please. I mean, ANYBODY out there using K7T266-Pro, what is your experience? :) Video editing is a plus appreciated area. greenpoint

Athlon DDR System - $850-$1000 bucks

Yes, the Epox 8K7A+ could be a good choice. I'll think about it, 'couse just planing to upgrade my system. Unfortunatelly, the board has the HighPoint Raid chip. It is also in the AbitKT133 board and lots of issues have been repported with it. I should prefer the Promise onboard chip, but it's...

Athlon DDR System - $850-$1000 bucks

The fastest system for video capturing/editing is a Raid system with 2 HDD. Has the Epox / Gigabyte mobos onboard Raid? If yes, I'll go with one of them. If not, a Promise Raid card is around an extra 120-150 bucks expense. What's wrong with the MSI K7T266 Pro-R DDR board? (No, no. I haven't one...

Shudder, I like your post :) One is never satisfied with the speed. Need more and more. (early 1980 I started with a litle toy computer and 48 Kb! RAM, God, 48 Kilobyte :) and I was happy with the first PC-8086 CPU) You are right, the T-bird will be cheaper and cheaper and the feeling will be...

how much better is a tbird vs a duron?

Thanks, boys/girls Yes, a 15-20% difference is a lot but the speed/price relation is important as well. I am also hesitating about the mobo: SDRAM (A7V133-Raid vs. MSI K7T133-Pro Raid) vs. DDR (MSI K7T266) ? Does the MSI K7T266 work with DDR in bank 1 + bank 2? Some review said it dosn't work...
