While I don't have the KT333 Ultra board, I do have an older KT266 D+
board that runs a mobile 2600 chip. You will need to do the socket wire
pin mod to get access to the higher multiplier values; providing it does
work.

I use the 2600 mobile in my D+ board. Without the pin mod, your multiplier
options will be limited. I have 3 Soyo Kt600 Ultra boards and I like them
alot, though there not cheap. I didn't say that it would work, only that
the mobiles work on an older series board.
