<Other stuff interfaces directly to the chipset as well (PCI, AGP, etc.). This consumes some bandwidth I'd imagine, especially with 4x AGP, where the "extra" 66 Mhz could come in handy.> Read my response to Ali. I'm arguing that every interface is competing for memory bandwidth, not processor bus bandwidth. <Plus, marketing a 200 MHz FSB is better than marketing a 133 or a 100 MHz FSB, even if technically the 200 MHz FSB is only between the CPU and chipset.> That's my point. It's only a marketing thing unless the memory bandwidth is increased. Tenchusatsu
