KT 400 vil understøtte AMD CPU FSB på 333MHz.
The Inquirer skriver: Via officially confirms it!

THE MINUTE WE heard AMD might actually adopt a 333MHz front side bus (FSB) we started to nose about a bit.
So we asked Via whether its KT400 will support such an FSB and we got a straight reply that "The KT400 supports all existing and future AMD Athlon processor FSB speeds".
So if, rather when, AMD decides to go-go for an FSB higher than the current 266 bus, Via will support it.
According to other sources, even the KT333 or the widely accepted KT333CE will have support for this speed meaning that users with these boards will be able to use all the benefits of Athlons with a 333 MHz. As we noted elsewhere, the cunning plan seems to be that AMD will eventually offer all XPs it will still carry with that bus.
It also means that if you buy a KT400 or an Nvidia based Nforce 2, board, life will be, as the saying goes, "just a bowl of cherries".
Which led me to remember, if my memory serves me well, that the good old Alpha EV6 bus of blessed memory is physically capable of supporting a 400MHz front side bus. Not that AMD cares about that any more, of course.
The intro of Athlon XPs with 333MHz support will once more give the Pentium 4 a run for its money. The chip wars have started again, in earnest!
Now we need to find out what the other third party chipset manufacturers feel about this move. µ
