In The Planning Stages: Dual-Channel DDR333 From VIA
According to a few motherboard manufacturers, VIA is planning to offer a chipset for the AMD Hammer with Dual DDR333 support. To explain this: manufacturers have found out that an external memory interface with Dual-DDR could provide a solution for more performance than what AMD had internally predicted. Currently, it cannot be determined as to the extent that this information ultimately has to do with a future VIA chipset launch.
