Otoh, I have a Socket A board with KT600 which has been running 2 1gig DIMMs quite happily for a number of years now. It's a Gigabyte board that came with a Fujitsu Siemens computer.
I suppose VIA got it right with their KT880 chipset?
I think there was an issue with FSB vs RAM speed in certain cases, but that was probably more an issue with KT400. I believe KT600 on the A7V600 was a bit finicky, 2 of the 3 slots could only be used if using DDR400, add a 3rd and it all knocks down to 333, and was sensitive to RAM brand. Otherwise A7V600 is a solid board.
KT400 on the A7V8X was even worse I think, it was either 1x 400, 2x 333 or 3x 266 I think. It's been a while since I researched all this, just going by what I can recall from 03-05.
As for KT880, I don't think I ever used any of those boards, I'd moved to K8 by that point when they came out. Spec wise they look like an Nforce killer.
