A quote if you don't mind:

"Recently, Intel has mysteriously ceased using the term ‘PC133’ when describing Brookdale. We think that there may be a good reason for this. PC133 is required to enable AGP4x, but when PC133 is synchronized to the P4 front side bus, we believe that it will synchronize at a 100MHz clock, not a 133MHz clock. This means that all performance critical operations on the bus will occur at the same performance level as Celeron platforms (100MHz). Even though the system may be populated with PC133, it will deliver the read performance of PC100."

Now I don't know about you, but I have a system running with a 100 Mhz FSB and PC133 clock to, get this, 133Mhz! Wow it's just that little thing called FSB+PCI. Hmm go fig.
I just love finding fault
