The 'old' KT133A only uses SDRAM, the new KT266A uses DDRAM.
KT266A also has ATA/100 for new HDs.
The memory controller is much much more efficient than the previous KT266 and
naturally even more efficient than KT133A.
Check out the article at www.anandtech.com, you will see comparative benchmarks
with other chipsets including the KT133A.
