Differences you notice between FSB 133/266/333 on the xp?

Im thinking of upgrading my xp 1800+ with at least an amd with a 266 FSB. But I want to know is it worth the money? Sure clock speeds are a little higher as well, but I can reach 2200 status speeds by oc'ing.

Errr, you have an XP at 266MHz effective. OR did you mean a 166MHz FSB (333MHz effective)? Take a look at Anand's review of the 333MHz T-bred's and you'll be able to see the difference in performance at identical clockspeeds. If you have a board that can handle a 166MHz FSB and plan to OC, just get a 133MHz (266) T-bred B 1700/2100 and OC it by raising the FSB to 166.
