After spending 10 days with various MB/RAM combinations, I'm convinced that KT333 is a hoax.
Even the roundups and reviews here on Tom's show absolutely NO performance gain from KT333/PC-2700 MBs vs KT266/PC-2100.
In fact, even the 18 mobo roundup published here (VIA KT333 Put To The Test: 18 Motherboards Compared) shows an older 266 DDR MB running right in the middle of the 333 DDR pack.
My advice: if you want upgrade to a 333 DDR MB - DON'T - it's a complete waste of time and money.
The best MB tested ran only 1.4% better than the older 266 MB, and about half of them were actually slower.
