Has anyone moved up to the 333mhz XP? If so have you noticed any improvement. I have an XP 2000+ on a A7V333 motherboard and was wondering if It's worth upgrading to 333mhz.

I dont think that many people have them yet. I have not seen too many and none have made it to page 1 on the ORB.

Things may change once people have the correct mobo and CPU combinations too.

Might be prices too. not many people have the 3.06 yet.

You are limited to what your mind can perceive.

I have an Athlon XP 2600+ w/333. I have a thread asking anyone has seen any comparisons of this vs. the 2600+ w/266. One thing I've noticed is that the bandwidth can come in handy sometimes. One simple test is that I wrote a Sieve program (basically a memory benchmark). It runs the same speed (~31 seconds) on my 1600+ and my 1800+ (both DDR266 machines) and should since they both have the same memory bandwidth. My 2600 runs it in ~23 seconds, which is pretty much dead on considering a 25% higher bandwidth.
