Well, there really is a new stepping of the KT266 and the ASUS A7V266 will be one of the first boards to use it!
<A HREF="http://www.theinquirer.net/09070112.htm" target="_new">According to The Inquirer</A>, AMD-Europe reports that the A7V266 'blows away' the Gigabyte GA-7DX (AMD760 chipset) which they were using up to now as their testbed motherboard!
Looks as if the production A7V266 has 3 DDR slots (getting rid of the SDR slots that were on the prototype board). I for one consider this to be a smart move by ASUS (IMHO it's stupid to compromise the # of DDR DIMM slots on a DDR board in order to add SDR slots)!
