Some of the new boards are merereiterations of KT266(A)-based boards, some others take over the outlines of existing concepts but have some deep modificationsunder the hood. An example of the latter category is the ASUS A7V333 that looks similar to the earlier A7V266-E but is essentially acompletely new board under the cloak of superficial similarities. Changes include but are not limited to the new chipset revision andadditional interfaces as e.g. IEEE 1394 Firewire and Smart Media. Different logical addressing of the CPU configuration is one of thechanges brought to the table. For the consumer, the bigger question is whether the A7V333 is worth the upgrade from any existingplatform as well as whether there are any new bugs to watch out for. The answers are yes and yes ......By now, it is a trivial fact that the Giga-Hertz race between Intel and AMD has raised the demands on the data accessibility, that is,specifically, the memory interface. If PC2100 including some sophisticated prefetch mechanisms were still adequate for theintroduction of the Palominos to the desktop platform, those horses have gotten way faster and created new demands. The highermultiplier values necessary to reach the next level of clock speed are more and more becoming what is known in optics as empty
