If you think of the 133 MHz FSB platform article from March 2000 , you will remember that SPECviewperf was the only benchmark where i820 and i840 were able to outperform the BX chipset, because those benchmarks are indeed able to benefit from increased memory bandwidth. You can see the same thing here. Apollo Pro 266 and its DDR-memory are indeed performing better than i815 and PC133, but the gain is once more very little.
