Is it worth it?

[tim008]

I have a dual socket motherboard, im running 2x PIII 1000Mhz at the mo, the motherboard will take up to 2x 1133Mhz PIII cpu`s, is it worth upgrading to these?

[Midknyte]

It's only a 133MHz gain per CPU. I think it's a waste of money. Put the money towards a new system.

I think so too, but if you could find two for less than $125 or so total it might be worth considering, I expect it hard to find P3 1133's though and someone will think they are gold.

agree...

i too upgraded from a pair of 350 to a pair of 1000 P3, partially due the SUPER EXTREME difficulty to find the 1.133 CPU versions

and also due some POTENTIAL compatibility issues.

most Old DUAL P3 systems maxes out at 100 FSB, very few at 133 FSB

so chances of having it work properly in 133 FSB are too hard to worth its while

not to mention you will need to find matching sets of 133 FSB RAMs

:t

my Dual P3-1000 / 1gb RAM runs extremely well with even todays games at Standard resolutions :D

Not unless someone gives you the 1.13GHz models. You won't see enough of a difference to bother with otherwise.
