I asked earlier if a 1Ghz 100FSB chip is any better than a 1Ghz 133FSB and was told that the 100 would be the best overclocker and just hang on to it. See the post:

I didn't and returned it for a 133FSB chip from ACCUBYTE. Let me tell you my OC results:
The 'B' chip' (100Mhz FSB) will only clock to around 1144 at the highest using any combinations of FSBxClock Multiplier.
My new 'C chip' is running right now (fully stable and I was playing Nascar4 for the past two hours) at 1463Mhz (133x11) and will post at 1595Mhz (133x12.) WOW what a chip. If anyone else is in my position and can send back their 100 for a 133 you may want to try it. I realize that chips very but this is a situation where I'm glad I followed my instincts.
