VIA KT400A Chipset Review @ AMDMB

The NDA has lifted on the new KT400A chipset from VIA and based on the reviews that I’ve seen VIA is a little worried about the popularity of the nForce2. The reviews seem to focus around the more efficient single channel memory controller, it's about time.
"The changes that were made to the KT400 chipset were centered on the memory controller. The KT400A chipset is still a single channel DDR chipset, despite the initial rumors that were circulating months ago. VIA does admit that they looked in to the dual channel options for AMD platforms, but from their research found that having a very efficient single channel controller was the best option and that having a dual channel controller was overkill for the Athlon XP processor that has a bandwidth limit of 333 MHz DDR speeds"
