Here we notice some very interesting trends; overclockers should be happy
because every last one of the motherboards made it up above the 166MHz
flawlessly and most of the boards offer 1MHz FSB increments. Every single
KT333 board had an on-board IDE RAID controller, and the vast majority
offered USB 2.0 support.
For audio, the ALC650 codec was the favorite out of the group, followed by the CMI8738 (CMedia) and finally the lonely 2 channel solutions. And it's also clear that Realtek has the on-board Ethernet market in their hands as well.
