  • KT266 contains a hardware bug which causes system instability when using the AGP slot at the specified max capacity of 4×.[1]
  • ProSavage KM133, KM133A, KM266, KM400, KM400A – Similar to the above, but with integrated graphics. After KM133, DDR is supported. The KM133 uses an IGP consisting of the S3 Savage4 3D core and Savage 2000 2D functionality. KM266’s ProSavage8 IGP is similar but has an additional 3D pipeline. The KM400 chipset and its “A” variant use the VIA UniChrome IGP.
  • Later revisions of the KT333 (sometimes called KT333CF) are rebadged KT400 chips with AGP 8x disabled. On motherboards with this chipset AGP 2x cards which require 3.3V are not supported.
  • KT133E (= VT8363E + VT82C686B) appears on Gigabyte 7IXEH [2] but is not listed on the VIA site. Based on the specifications of that motherboard, KT133E appears to be equivalent to (or a cost-reduced rehash of) KT133, supporting 133 MHz for memory but only 100 MHz for the CPU.
  • Some revisions of KT333 support 166 MHz FSB.
