Which is better?

What performance gain will I see (real world) if I up my fsb from 133 to 150, keeping my processor speed the same? (5.5x150 or 6x133)
Also, I have crucial pc133 cas2 ram, will it be able to handle pc150?

forgot to mention, I have an asus a7v133 and an 850 thunderbird.

will it be faster at 150... yes

will you RAM be able to handle it.... probably (definetely can handle low 140's most can run at 150)

The thing you have to watch though is the PCI and AGP bus speeds. I believe you can change the divider in your BIOS. If the PCI speed is too high, you will have problems with your PCI cards and video card

with a 150mhz fsb and a 1/4 divider ur pci slot would be 37mhz.

The most noticeable benefit will be in 3D games.
