I wonder how well the 333MHz chip fared with a 100MHz bus vs 66MHz?

<We found performance benefits of the 400MHz chip were readily apparent. Graphic-intensive applications, such as Adobe PageMaker and CorelDraw, performed about 26 percent and 24 percent better than on a 333MHz PC, respectively.> Paul, 26% & 24% are greater increases than the actual increase in clock speed. I don't understand how this is possible. It must be the graphics card that accounts for the speedup. We've been told by others on the AMD thread that the 100mhz bus wouldn't help any. They couldn't be wrong could they? EP
