Well zsamz i left my fsb and timings and everything the same, and just switched over to the 333 strap, i dont see any difference, of course fsb, processor are running same, but memory speed 50mhz less, barely broke 10,000, so i think im about good as a GIGABUT board will do, i find hard to believe that if i was on a p35 dfi, my performance would be that much better, maybe so.
