The KK266 motherboard from Iwill continues a long standing tradition of providing overclocking friendly solutions. Based on the VIA KT133A chipset, the KK266 doesn't change all that much from similar KT133A offerings, but that is not to say it is exactly the same either - indeed it is far from from an ordinary motherboard. W here Iwill does differentiate itself, and where in our opinion it does so beautifully, is by gaining the respect of the hardware community for its' almost legendary ability to hit high Front Side Bus (FSB) speeds!
When VIA introduced the KT133A chipset, there was actually a bit of disappointment because almost everyone seemed to expect a DDR chipset. Instead we were dealt a SDR solution. Of course, to just about everyone's surprise, the KT133A became quite the sleeper! DDR being such a catch phrase, most people (including yours truly) forgot that in reality, it only allows twice the bandwidth of conventional SDR memory but isn't really 'faster.' By that I mean, the latency stays about the same.
