COMMENT - "As we can clearly see from the Quake 3 benchmark the difference in performance between PC100 and PC133 memory is very small, ranging from one to six frames per second. If you have over 128mb of PC100 memory in your pc then I see no reason to replace it all with PC133 memory. However if you have very little memory in your PC and are getting more memory anyway then it makes sense to get PC133 memory. It costs the same and in some cases is even cheaper and it will give you a small increase in performance which is always a good thing."
