The P4X333, however, is a substantial leap over both of those releases. With the P4X333, VIA has not only produced what is arguably the best performing Pentium 4 chipset available today, VIA has also future-proofed it by packing in such features as AGP 8X and USB 2.0 before most users are even asking for them. This forward-thinking attitude will serve VIA well, and if the redesigned PCI implementation can exorcise Darth VIA once and for all, it should make even more people happy.
