VIA KT333 |
Building on the unprecedented power and reliability of the VIA Apollo
KT266A, the VIA Apollo KT333 further raises the performance bar on
AMD Athlon™ XP and AMD Duron™ processor based systems.
The VIA Apollo KT333 is the first VIA chipset to feature DDR333
memory offering 25% more memory bandwidth to the CPU. Supporting DDR200/266/333
memory and a complete range of 200/266/333MHz Front Side Bus AMD Athlon™
XP and AMD Duron™ processors, the VIA Apollo KT333 provides lightning
fast access to the faster system memory enabling stunning performance
across the full application range.
The VIA Apollo KT333 is part of the V-MAP family of chipsets, which
provides pin compatibility across the full range of VIA DDR products.
V-MAP, or VIA Modular Architecture Platform, allows motherboard manufacturers,
OEMs, and System Integrators to serve different market segments with
a single, unified platform design. This approach speeds time to market
and ultimately reduces the price of V-MAP based mainboards. The VIA
Apollo KT333 (model number VT8367) is completely pin-compatible the
VIA Apollo KT266A (VT8366A) to ensure rapid time to market. It can
be paired with a choice of VT8233/VT8233A/VT8233C South Bridges, which
are connected through the chipset's high bandwidth V-Link Hub Architecture.
Other key features include AGP4X, ATA-100 (ATA-133 in the VT8233A),
integrated six channel advanced audio, six USB ports, LPC bus, and
integrated 10/100Mbps Ethernet and Home PNA, AC-97 audio, and MC-97
modem.

Benefits
of VIA KT333
Ultra Powerful Performance
The VIA Apollo KT333 features the world's fastest single channel
memory controller, designed for exceptionally high performance. Supporting
DDR200/266/333 memory, the VIA Apollo KT333 provides lightning fast
access to system memory and can reach a peak bandwidth of 2.7GB/sec,
25% greater than the KT266A, enabling the full performance potential
of the fastest AMD Athlon™ XP processors to be harnessed.
ATA-133 IDE Interface
ATA-133 FastDrive™, integrated into the VT8233A South Bridge is the
fastest IDE interface currently available and meets today's ever
increasing data transfer requirements offering shorter access times
and greater performance in a huge variety of everyday applications
including audio, video & gaming.
V-MAP
The VIA Modular Architecture Platform offers a balance of reliability
and flexibility. Reliability comes from using proven, modular components
and evolutionary design principles in enabling the VIA Apollo KT333
to share the best characteristics of award winning previous generation
products like the VIA Apollo KT266A. Flexibility comes from the North
Bridge pin compatible with the KT266A and the industry's best choice
of pin compatible VT8233 series South Bridge options enabling a variety
of system configurations and price points based on the same mainboard
design.
