Via Kt266 and Kt266a

Cw_strife · 02-08-2002, 01:04 AM

anyone know the difference between the two chipsets. Currently I use the Asus a7v266... which has the Kt266 chipset. The Asus a7v266-e uses the Kt266A chipset. Doesn't look like it is different at all. Anyone know?

Im not really sure what the differences are, but why not do a search on google.com or maybe check out VIA's website since it is their chipset.

i think the old KT266 have lots of problem,
from my experience,2 pc assembled with the exact spec,1 using AMD761 (Abit KG7)and 1 using KT266(MSI K7T266),the KT266 is not stable and problematic,i think KT266A is supposed to solve those instability and performance problem.

Didn't the kt266A resolve some of the issues with the ide drive speeds also?
