DDR333 amd mobos

[rogert2]

Hi fellows,

Could anyone tell me if their are really any performance boost from using a mobo with DDR333 memory instead of DDR266 on an Athlon XP considering the fact that the buss speed between the CPU and the memory is @ 266Mhz ?

Thanks

Apparently you'll see a 5-10% with 333 on a KT333 board, but no improvement with 333 over 266 running async on a SiS 745 board. You won't realize the full benefit of 333 memory unless you're running sync, which means OC'ing the FSB for now (until 166 FSB CPU's are available).
