Dan3, re: "First of all, I know of no other set of benchmark results that can be used to compare FSB vs. clock speed performance." I am not sure what information you are seeking. How about some comparisons of 100/133 vs 133/133 from the KT133 to KT133A transition which showed that same CPU speed but higher FSB increased performance? This isn't exactly a clean change since it changes the memory from asynch to synch. anandtech.com And further, to test the range of FSB you are interested in will overclock the PCI & AGB busses so only CPU&Memory dependent benches will be most free of side affects. I would be willing to do a little experimenting of CPU/FSB/Mem settings if you could provide some parameters to evaluate. I have some of the standard benchmarking suites and a spare computer to rebuild and this would be a little inspiration. -PT
