Tim, <Why shouldn't a new chipset at 133mhz get the same performance as an old overclocked chipset? Yes the overclocked motherboard will also overclock the AGP slot, but do you think that all the extra performance from the BX133 comes from overclocking AGP?>

There's more to the performance advantage of the overclocked 440BX chipset than just the faster AGP. It's also running the PC133 SDRAM out-of-spec, which makes the system less stable, but better performing. (I believe CAS-2 won't help, either.)

To make a long story short, let's just say that had Intel decided to do a real 133 MHz 440BX chipset, it would have performed no better than an 815 Solano or Via Apollo Pro 133 chipset.
