The final words:
I´ve thrown together some memory benchmarks to give you an idea how the KT400 chipset performance at 166Mhz and 200Mhz. Notice the impressive difference between the KT3@166 and KT3@200.
There you have it, if you are looking to buy an AMD motherboard, and don´t want to go for the newly released nForce2 (which really performances quite well). Then the KT333 is the way to go. The newer KT400 has alot of nice features but just doesn´t perform as good. And the fact that it has problems with the ATI Radeon 9700 Pro is another reason NOT to buy this board.
I would like to thank
Comtechnology for being this patient with me and providing all the hardware goodies, couldn´t have done it without them!
Let´s not forget
the people over @ the forums for providing me with the much needed benchmark results
