We assure a lot of hardware arrived by the Hardware labs. All once in a while a piece arrives on that stands out from the rest, constructing a lasting feeling.A few recent items that arrive to mind is the Hercules Game Theater XP, The Visiontek Ti Series video cards, and the Shuttle AK35GTR CPU board.

The AK35GTR was a literal champ.Constructed approximately the KT266A chipset, this board didn't accept the flash and pizzazz of other high-end CPU board, but it delivered where it counted most, in character, functioning and, of course, overclocking. In fact, if you were to look for out the web for surveys of the AK35GTR, you'd be hard exhorted to detect a negative survey.

Not long after we finished our survey back in February, the VIA KT333 chipset was issued.People were eager to discover how VIA bettered upon the so soon popular KT266A, 1st I will admit that I was cautious. A lot of us can remember the storage consequences that were a major trouble with the KT266 when it 1st arrived out. This commanded VIA to construct some exchanges to the pattern of the chipset, affording rise to the modified, and immediately very popular, KT266A.

Though the KT333 hasn't been provoked by any major pattern flaws or stability consequences, it hasn't precisely blown us off with its functioning either. The most substantial change is the contributed defend for 333MHz.(DDR) storage speeds, USB 2.0 and defend for ATA133.

In the commencing, there were few companies that were immediate to jump on the KT333 bandwagon.Approximately companies, like MSI, were swift to commence adding CPU board to their product line that were constructed approximately the novel chipset, while others, like Soyo, chose the "wait and watch" outlook to be sure there were no major troubles with the novel design.
