Please explain the difference!!

[Guest]

The AMD T-bird 1.0GHz (200MHz) currently sells for $183, while the 1.0GHZ (266MHz) sells for $279. If one unlocks the 200MHz cpu & puts it in a K133a MoBo with PC133 CAS2 memory, exactly what is the real and/or perceived difference between the two cpus? If no difference, why the $96 price difference? Please help, I really don't understand the advantage if any to the 266Mhz cpu, if the 200MHz cpu can run at 266MHz on the K133a once you set a lower clock multiplier. Thanks in advance!!

the only diffrence is that you are grauntee that the fsb will runn a 133 but i've only heard of a couple people on the site that say that they can't get there chip to a 133 fsb
