AMD 1.33 GHz & Asus A7A266 with DDR = wicked fast!

[V8VENOM]

Finally got my upgrade complete, my old system was a Pentium III 866 with Intel 815 motherboard and PC133 (256MB). Put in an AMD 1.33 Ghz T-Bird with Asus A7A266 (BIOS rev. 1004) and 256MB of DDR and almost DOUBLED my prior performance.

Example FS2000 on my old setup was 25-26 fps, it is now 43-45 fps (exact say location -- sitting on the runway).

Since I sold my old components the upgraded ended only cost me about $150 out of pocket. $150 for double my performance, well worth it in my book. Thanks to Tom for posting info and the ASUS A7A266.

BTW, this is NOT a Intel vs. AMD thread, just a post about how much I got from a very small expense.

Cheers, Rob.

Buy some more. Maybe I should have waited and got a DDR motherboard vice my KT133a board, oh well no use in crying over spilt milk. I paid around $100 each for two PC133 dimms so you made out.
