KT133 wasn't design to go 133mhz. the chipset itself, the KT133 was able to go 133 and higher, as some people(those japanese freaks) have done with Turbo PLL(PPL i don't know, it's dumb you don't wana do it. it take hours to do, and it think around $100, FROM japan)
VIA those this ON PURPOSE, WHY??? rak the dough in. how you think Via is going to compete with INTEL, ALI, and whoever if they don't have the dough to begin with.
SO is it VIA fault, no not really, everyone is doing it. why do you think the newer KT133A stop around 150mhz. (exception to iwill KT133a, I've heard some guy got it to very close to 160mhz)
YOu think VIA or INTEL or anyone can't make that thing to go 166 BUS or even 200, right now. man, that be like saying OK you can buy a BLUE core TB750 at the price of $150 and HITING 1.2, and buying a TB 1.2. OK that didn't make sense to what i was saying before. but i'm still piss as my Greenie TB750(i was hoping a BLUE would show up, DAMMMnn!!!... Green!....) would only hit 950.
What i'm trying to say is, they (everyone doing business, don't want to bring out their best stuff out, even when they already achieve it) example, AMD/INTEL role out 700 then 750 then 800 then 850,....... why not just bam 1Ghz. NO, they want to make money on 750 first, then hoping some people like me, would get piss and go buy a 1.2 again when it's available.
IT's just plan marketing,.... I want my 2001 M3, still waiting........ and waiting.......... and waiting.
