Now if you take a look at that link which shows the VIA KT333 Architecture (in fact thats what taht page is titled).

Now looking at that there are some names i dont recongize like LPC, SMBus, Power Plan and Peripheral Control, GPIO and ACPI events.

There are some i do know, that would be the ATA, USB, and PCI.



Does everything on the south bridge run at the same speed?

Does this mean that you can be held back from overclocking because your USB hardware (ie mouse, keyboard, scanner) cant support the higher speeds?

Do the names i dont know (ie LPC) matter?
