I personally would get the 100 FSB T-Bird. I got my 1.2GHz T-Bird couple weeks ago and have no problem running at 133FSB. It is now running at 1.33GHz (10x 133FSB). Although 266 FSB processors might have better performance(stock speed) it would very limit itself in overclocking due to high initial FSB. Price is about the same if not little more expensive. Well, just my opinion. :):):):)

Does it matter or am I missing something? If the chip can be unlocked, running it at 12x100 should be the same as running it at 9x133. If you do not intend to unlock it then a 133/266 FSB will give you better memory transfer rates (about 33% better #:o) ) which maps into about 3 or 4% better overall performance.
