Me want to know too.
There's a review at Toms hardware of the Pro version in the KT333 test, with the raid and USB as extras, I presume the basic one is going to be the sameish
less the extras.
One thing I noticed is that the FSB might only be settable up to 161, even though the memory clock can be set to 166. Dunno if this is just with a beta bios though.
It seems to come out okay against the other KT333s in Toms test, should be better than a 266A board anyway, and they're kinda hanging in around that price point.

got the pro version. Only probs I have had, so far
, are the bios used to reset to default when I did some minor tweaking. Fixed with flash of new bios. usb 2 not working properly yet, still get an error in windows sys properties. Haven't dedicated much time to figuring it out yet though. Temp diode sucks because it touches the small components underneath my XP, so it is reading their temps and not the actual cpu's. And all known progs go off the same reading . Dual bios rocks. It automatically boots from the backup if the main one fails for some reason, and the onboard lan is flawless as well. Haven't o/c'ed much as I can't tell my true temps. Want to get a digidoc5 or see if I can use Hoot's SMBus connector on the IR connector to get an acurate temp reading. So far, I put my 1600+ to 1700+. Not great, but it is better than nothing. Again, when I decide which route to take (DD5 or Hoot) I'll push it higher. Temps read about low 50's C but I know they are less because I have the AX-7 with an 80mm Delta (the biggest one that Heatsink factory sells for it). Hope this helps
