Yes the kt333 boards support 333Mhz RAM

Sorry, I misread. I have been wondering the same thing. It would be nice if my board would support the new athlons. Considering I just bought the thing a few months ago.

It might be added in a future BIOS upgrade from Soyo, if the option isn't there already.

the sad thing is I just got a KT 400 ultra and I still don't know if it will officially support the 333 FSB, even emailing soyo has been a dead end.
oh well, if I gotta sell it, too bad.

Yes, I think so.
1. Go to this link below to see the differs between kt-400/kt-333/kt-266a:

2. Go to this link below the new AMD w/ FSB 333 is coming to Earth:
http://www.amd.com/us-en/Corporate/VirtualPressRoom/0,,51_104_543~43657,00.html
The bottom line is this new CPU is still fit on a Socket A (426), and with my Soyo KT333 Dragon Lite, I can set FSB to 400MHz, and set my Mushkin PC2700 (333MHz) to 400MHz also.
It should work fine (or only work in theory?), as long as the DDRAM clock speed is not lower than the CPU clock speed.

according to soyo,yes the kt400 will support the xp2700 & 2800
this is from their site
Supports AMD Socket-A type processors, including AthlonXP, Athlon and Duron (up to 2600+; 2700+/2800+ ready)
here`s the webpage

i'm not so sure about the kt333 since to run at a fsb of 166 a pci devider of 1/5 in needed to keep the agp and pci in specs.
