What would be the performance diference in games, in a Athlon 1800+ running in a Kt266a mobo, between DDR Pc2100 and SDR Pc133.
20%, 10% ?????

Since there aren't any KT266a motherboards that have slots for SDRAM, it's a moot point.
But I'd guess 5-15%, depending on the memory size on your video card.

Actually there is at least one KT266a motherboard that supports both.

MATSONIC MS8137C2.0 VIA KT266A CHIPSET 2SDR 2DDR $ 59.00
Two 168-pin SDR PC133 SDRAM up to 768MB
Two DDR sockets PC2100 DDR up to 2GB

But I can't find any benchmarks for it comparing sdr and ddr memory.

I have hear that the ddr performance is lackluster on botherboard with both sdr and ddr slots so if you are thinking of using your PC133 then buying DDR at a later date I would advise against it.
