Processor FSB 266 vs 333 - Does It Matter?

[RobHW]

I have an EPoX 8RDA+ motherboard with a Athlon XP 2100+ 266MHz FSB processor. Before long I may upgrade the processor. What does it do for me to get a 333MHz FSB type processor instead? Thank You!

Why upgrade? Yes, a fast AMD system does benefit from a 333MHz fsb. You have the right motherboard and cpu, provided your memory is up to the task put your fsb speed up to 166MHz and enjoy 2166MHz. Your cpu will do that easily with a small bump in vcore, many people are getting 2300MHz+.

We don't know what type of processor he has. Do you have a T Bred B or a Pally? If you have a pally then that is still good, but I wouldn't blame you for upgradeing to a 266/333 fsb T Bred B. If you have a TBred B, then you are set buddy.
