Does it really thwart the speed of the cpu that much more than the 533 bus?

That depends on your point of view. (Or I'd imagine more likely what software you use.) But in general, yes, it really does thwart the CPU's performance to hinder the FSB like that.

Games, Word, Web/email are mainly what I use. I suppose games would be the biggest bottleneck.

If games as in Quake3, Doom 3, Unreal Tourney 2003, etc., then it is most definately a bottleneck.

If games as in Minesweeper, Solitare, etc., then no, it's not. ;)

I don't play minesweeper! Q3, NOLF2, UT203 and Doom 3 asap. Thanks. I guess my 2.4/400 upgrade idea to my current asus P4B266 mobo (1.7 willy) is not such a good idea.
