Jozef: IMO I think an important point will be if this faster PC133 2-2-2 DRAM in combination with the 815 chipset is much faster than Intel's old standard benchmark hardware platform, the 440BX chipset with PC100 DRAM. Then "Tom's Hardware" overclocked SDRAM benchmarks using 440BX chipset will morph into an Intel sanctioned standard hardware configuration with the 815 chipset with PC133 2-2-2 SDRAM. I am going to take a lot of flak on this next assertion but I am only using: - Intel's recent (5/24/00) benchmark data (see links below) and - Micron's assertion that "3DMark 2000 shows a 3 to 6.5 percent improvement". I think that for most performance benchmark tests regardless of CPU speed this faster PC133 DRAM with 815 chipset will equal 820 chipset with PC800 RDRAM. The results for 3DMark 2000 are: 800 MHz w 440BX chipset & PC100 325 800EB MHz w 820 chipset & PC800 343 multply 325*1.06% = 344.5 for PC133 memory intel.com intel.com john
