VIA fills KT333 shortage with remarked KT400

Digitimes is reporting that due to a shortage and eventual "phase-out" of the KT333 chipset they are going to start selling remarked KT400 chipsets as KT333 parts. This change does pose a problem for motherboard makers in that the new remarked chip cannot be applied to current KT333 PCB's.

"The major specification difference between the current KT400 and the remarked version lies in their AGP technology support. The present KT400 supports AGP 8x, while the remarked chipset offers only AGP 4x graphics function."
