Thunderbird: 200 vs 266 fsb...what is the gain

[tseeley]

What is the performance gain percentage wise on these? Is it really worth the extra 66?

 

[Fuzzmuncher]

depends if unlocked or not, ram quality, etc. You can overclock a good axia tbird 200mhz to 150+ FSB!

While you might...and I say might be able to get a 1 GHZ/200 Axia to run at 150fsb, there are variables mentioned in that article that will certainly be worth your reading.
If you have one of the motherboards listed in that article, and you're trying to run a 1.3/200 on the 266FSB...you're SOL.
So, before you go purchasing a 200 AXIA....do yourself a favor and read the article.
