Can anyone give me an approximate idea of the performance difference (In percentage points) I might get in running an athlon XP 2700 on my currents VIA KT266A mobo and moving to an nforce2. I mean how much do you reckon just changing the mobo will boost performance assuming I use my present 133 ddr ram?

Well your mobo only supports 266MHz FSB while the XP2700 would need 333MHz FSB. And with your present PC2100 RAM a lot of the XP2700 performance will get lost due to much slower memory (unless your memory would run stable at 166MHz).

My dual-PSU PC is so powerfull that the neighbourhood dims when I turn it on :eek:
