The 533 has a FSB of 133, and if it's on a MB that supports it's. Will it perform better than the 550 with 100 FSB on the same MB? Not overclocked. What chip do I buy? Also what are the differences between the 550 and the 550e? If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Almost forgot. The MB is an Asus P3C-E that supports 133FSB,

The 550E would perform a little faster in most things except in 3D animation and modeling programs where the 533 would be faster. The 533E is the same price as the 550E so I suggest the 550E.

The 533 version is faster on apps that require fast memory transfer. Since the bus speed is at 133MHz instead of the standard 100MHz. If you like o/cing go for the 550E version but it you don't like o/cing then get the 533. You can't really feel any difference between the two when running general apps. They have almost the same performance. Don't get the 550 version get the 550E version.
