Is DDR worth the extra money?

This is for a machine that will be used mostly for desktop publishing. Will I see a noticeable difference if I go with a 1.2GHz Tbird with PC133 instead, and put the extra money towards more RAM?

What I read leads me to believe that a KTA133 mainboard with SDR Ram is only slightly bested by DDR. If the 8-15% performance boost is worth it, hold out for DDR.

Thanks, Kloster. I think for the $150 price difference I'll just stick with SDRAM, maybe pop another 256MB in there :)
