    However, the only video card that I have seen that can support AGP 8x is the SiS 301 based Xabre cards. I have not seen any other manufacturer make an 8x card, though 8x AGP is useless in this day and age.

    I just finished reading an article where VIA officially does not support DDR400.
    Even thier KT400 chipset's will not support DDR400 memory.
    This leaves NForce and SIS as the only chipsets that officially support DDR400 memory.

    It'll be interesting to see if AMD makes a press announcement about the rumored 166/333 Athlons. With these new chipsets coming out it seems like the perfect time because then they would be able to roll native support for them into the new Nforce2's and such.
