Has anyone tried VC-133 ram with KT133(A) boards ?

I was reading about Virtual channel memory and it looks good on paper. I found some old tests on a P3, which didn't benefit from it, but no newer tests I've seen have included this memory type.

With the lower latency and higher bandwith of VC ram it looks like a good match to KT133 and KT133A boards, but have anyone tried this ?

I wouldn't put your money into VCRAM. The motherboard has to support it, and the architecture overall. AFAIK, only Athlon systems, and only some of the chipsets that go into them, support VCRAM. It doesn't look like a very re-usable component right now.
