Tenchusatsu,

<CAS2 PC133 is about as tough to find as RDRAM. Plus, I really don't think the performance difference between CAS2 and CAS3 is very significant. It's probably as insignificant as the difference between Virtual Channel SDRAM and regular SDRAM. (Perhaps that's why all of the hype surrounding Virtual Channel and CAS2 has died down.)>

Yeah, the difference will not be that large but a point here and a point there can add-up pretty fast.

<I've always knew that PC133 would be just a stop-gap solution between PC100 and RDRAM (or DDR SDRAM). Athlon just isn't going to get a tangible performance boost from the chipset until they start supporting DDR, whenever that'll be.>

This may have more to do with VIA implementation than PC133 itself. Nonetheless, I expect to improve the integer results a little bit and FP results a little bit more.
