Ok, the Athlon arrived, and I am using some Mushkin PC133 for now, if it starts acting weird I'll buy some new stuff.
Using the TD2 and a little FSB, I was able to get the 700 to run at 825 so far, not as high as I wanted, but ok nonetheless. Here's a sample benchmark I ran tonight, the rest to follow in the Max3D article:
Quake3
Fastest 134.5 fps
Normal 120 fps
HQ 72.1
1024x786x16 73.2
That's with the memory at 133Mhz, and FSB at 105. Best $180 I ever spent.
