Whats with this 133(266)FSB? Even though a KT133A board isn't a DDR board, the FSB still is? IF so, why don't people just say they run at 266 instead of 133? I'm getting ready to buy a 8KTA3 board and want to know if I'll have a 266 Mhz FSB with the new Thunderbirds.
 
All the socket A chips are double pumped, meaning that on a 100FSB, they run at 200. The KT133A is not DDR, so when you run at 133FSB, the only thing that is 266 is the CPU. Everything else, including the memory, is 133. On the DDR boards, the memory is double pumped too, meaning that the RAM is also running at 266, doubling memory bandwidth.
