Is that KT333 going to be worth it? Tryin to decide on upgrade here..

I have decided to get a AIW Radeon 7500. I'm trying to decide if this KT333 is going to be worth it. When is it coming out?
I'm guessing that that increase in speed is for the memory bus and not the system bus, I don't recall AMD cpus' coming out running on a 333 FSB.
I have 384MB of Crucial PC2100DDR so I should be good there. I guess that Abit or Epox KT266A mobo is a good bet.
I guess I'll upgrade my CPU - I have a 1Ghz/200FSB Tbird running at 1.33/266FSB running real good, but an Athlon XP 2000+ sure looks good

I was going to get a flat panel display but, I just can't complain about my 17" KDS Avitron (FD Trin tube) enough to warrant the extreme high cost of an LCD for hardly anymore screen space. Though I could go to a 19" and sell mine... hmmm. Nah, I'll put the dough into my system...

One problem, I've only found that Radeon 7500 AIW one place for $172 (retail), any other place that sells it for a good price.

Oh yeah, hard drives. I have a crapola samsung 30Gb 5400rpm HDD, I'm looking at a Maxtor 20 or 40Gb 7200 rpm HDD... suggestions?

I suggest you wait for motherboards which contain the KT333A chipset. It will contain other features besides supporting 333Mhz DDR ram. I also expect it to have less bugs than the KT333. I think the release date was pushed to Feb 17 for the KT333, but I am unsure. I will try to find an article.
