333/266 FSB

I would like to upgrade my current CPU. It's an Athlon XP 1600+ on an Abit
KR7-A Raid board that runs at 266 FSB. I'm trying to find a faster CPU
without overclocking. It seems all I can find are processors running at 333
FSB. I know I should be able to use one but it would run at a lower rating
which, to me defeats the object of upgrading. Can anyone suggest how much
processing power would be lost depending on which processor I choose.

TIA

You would be better off upgrading the processor and board, otherwise, from
266 to 333 isnt worth the trouble.

There are still many /266 model XP's.

You should be able to fit XP2400, which would give 50% improvement.
