VIA Hardware has posted an article on overclocking with the VIA KT133A Chipset.



Well the VIA KT133A chipset is certainly a blessing to AMD. The 133/266 Front Side Bus of the new chipset, gives a very nice performance increase over the previous KT133 chipset with processors running at 100 FSB. This could be AMD´s Ace in the Hole. The AMD Duron already has a good performance lead on the Intel Celeron, and now with a higher Front Side bus, the Celeron simply can´t compete. However on the high end side, the Amd Athlon and Intel Pentium 3 are very close in performance. Now that AMD has the KT133A chipset available to them, a AMD Athlon should top the performance of a similar speed P3, if using the 133/266FSB.
