Joe- There doesn't seem to be any difference between the 1GHz and 1.33GHz AXIA T-Birds except price and the number stamped on the core. One is intended to run at 10 x 100 = 1000MHz the other at 10 x 133 = 1.333MHz. Both. however, can be overclocked to 10 x 145 = 1450MHz. Intel had a similar situation with the Pentium II 300MHz SL2W8 cpu which was sold to run at 4.5 x 66 = 300MHz but was actually a Pentium II 450MHz that ran at 4.5 x 100 = 450MHz. Now it looks like the Pentium III 700 (7 x 100 = 700MHz) is the same as the Pentium III 933 (7 x 133 = 933MHz). Anytime you move to a new FSB zone there will always be these anomalies as you can't downgrade your process yet the market calls for products to fill the old FSB requirements. Harvey
