That didn't sound right, i don't mean the 266Mhz, I mean the new ones that run the 266Mhz FSB. I have an Abit Kt7A Raid, right now it has a duron 650 on it, but that has to go. I want to get a tbird, would it benifit me to get the 266 or should I pay less and get the 200 and then overclock it. LMK
Whats so cool about the 266Mhz Tbirds?

Then again, i just looked at pricewatch, they have 162.00+10.75 for a 200Mhz 1 gig, and 183.00+10.95 for a 266Mhz version. So I guess the price isn't that much of a differance, it used to be a bit more. I can get the 1 gig 266Mhz version for 175.00 shipped, so I may be better off getting it.
Well, it seems that most of the 266 ones are mulitiplier unlocked while not all of the 200mhz ones are. The reason why I personally went for the 266 one that was already unlocked was so I would not void my warrenty trying to unlock it (at least the dealer cant tell). If a dealer sees that you unlocked your multiplier they naturally assume you overclocked and voided your warrenty. On the other hand, if you have a factory unlocked chip, they have no way of proving that you overclocked your chip. My chip came w/ a 1 year warrenty and I wouldnt want to void it!
I am one of those people who enjoy STABILITY so I keep my cpu at the manufacturer spec that is why I bought the 266fsb if you want to overclock don't get it you can't get as much raw speed out of them but I love the extra 33mhz for my memory and its STABLE. Great product
