Although VIA has not declared DDR400 support in the specifications of its KT400 core-logic, we remember that several mainboard manufacturers stated in their announcements that their products can work with such kind of memory. Although the announcements were officials and the companies has not notified us about changing the specs of their products, it is quite strange to see these devices.
According to X-Bit labs sources, VIA KT400 can support DDR400, but only with two banks, as a result, mainboards with DDR400 support enabled, cannot function with more than two DDR400 modules. Furthermore, as I have read over here, the problem may be even worse and these devices are even not able to work with more than one DDR SDRAM DIMM module running at 400MHz. The reason of such strange KT400 behaviour is a bug in the VT8368 north-bridge that VIA has not yet managed to rectify.
