DDR333 is just coming out??? PC2700 and PC3000. It's well over 15% from my experience. Last year I ran these boards:
MSI K7T Turbo-R SDRAM
Asus A7V SDRAM
PC Chips M805LR SDRAM
Abit KT7A SDRAM
Epox 8K7A. DDR
The 8K7A smokes those other boards with the same CPU at the same speed. I was skeptical at first but It was well worth it at the time. I paid $65 for the 8K7A's and $20 for the DDR Ram. Now the board's I can still get at that price but DDR has trippled in price. But SDRAM seems to have gone up aswell.
It was actually cheaper at one point to go DDR but that has changed again.
In any event why bother overclocking at all if 15% isn't worth it????
