Using KT133A, Would a 266fsb increase performance?

[kjwise]

Ok, I know the title is a bit stupid since we all know that increased memory bandiwth yields more
performance.
But, what I was thinking, is since the kt133a takes regular pc133 sdram and isnt ddr, do I really
gain anything by waiting for, and trying to get, a athlon-c cpu?
Or should I just take the damn tbird 1200mhz (200) and be happy?
(And perhaps try to lower the multiplier and increase the fsb a little)

That is, I will get maximum performance out of the kt133a because of the memory, and not the cpu fsb?

I do not plan to upgrade to ddr any time soon, since I've heard that future drr memory (2600+) will
have different pin settings, so this generation of ddr will be outdated when it's my next time to upgrade.

Any advise appriciated.

yes the faster bus does increase performance at the same cpu clock speed

no, take a 1200mhz (200) and run it at 9x133 on a kt133a board at 9x133 to start with. but dont be happy yet, your not even realy overclocking. next try 9.5x133 for 1264, mebey ad some voltage to help if it doenst go right away, then keep pushing it up one step at a time untel you see stablitiy probelms, then back it back down. after that you can be happy🙂
