Since most manufacturers have already implemented the KT266 at the launch of the KT266A, all they had to do was simply drop the KT266A northbridge in their existing design, add some BIOS changes, and voila they have a KT266A board. Though this sounds fairly simple, it still took a few manufacturers a while to launch their KT266A board, mainly Asus and Abit. As we saw in the Abit KR7A review, the extra time Abit spent tweaking the board brought it to the top become the fastest performing board we’ve looked at, at the time of the review.

Now that it’s been about 4 months since VIA has launched their KT266A boards and most companies have already released their KT266A products, it’s about time to have a roundup with most of the KT266A boards available on the market varying from budget low end no frills to fully loaded board with USB2.0 and RAID.
