How big is the difference between kt133a and kt266a?

I want to upgrade my current duron to an Athlon XP 1800+ on my kt133a board


I am curious the peformance difference of this board when it is compared to a kt266a board

Memory bandwidth is doubled in some cases. Stability of the KT266a is superb in my experience.

10 - 15% some case more.

thats not so bad I guess
Since i will probaly oc my cpu to 143*11.5

I think the performance would be pretty close toa default clock Athlon XP 1800 on a kt266a board

I had to make the same decision a few weeks ago, and i kept my Kt133a Board, mainly cause i already had 1GB of SD ram and didnt want to switch to DDR.

If you already have alot of RAM I wouldn't switch. But if your at 256MB or lower I would. The price of a solid KT266A board is very cheap and RAM is moving up but it's still reasonable.
