Tench, RE:"As you very well know, there are indeed many, many variables in chipset performance. But the reason why I don't think PC133 will help Athlon is the same reason why I don't think PC133 will help Pentium III all that much, either. In a nutshell, PC133 is only an evolutionary step up from PC100. You're not going to see much of a difference until Athlon reaches 1.0 or 1.2 GHz or so."... The VIA Apollo pro 133 chipset didn't make any earth shattering improvements over the BX chipset w/PC100. Surely you didn't expect it to trounce the AMD 751 chipset? OTOH...there is the 4x AGP and the look of higher MHZ...same stuff Intel has been trying to fool us with with the i820...except they pinned the hopes of the i820 on DUMBUST. Really dumb. Why did they call the Solano the i815? Jim
