I hope the 815 based system is something you

440BX despite the lack of official 133fsb support

until recently.
The SDRAM addressing limitations of the BX are really starting to show these days, and the ability to cheaply add more RAM will give you more 'performance' (especially under 'bloated' OSes... and under lighter OSes, you generally can't swap, anyway, so if you want to run anything large you'll *need* that memory) than any 'minor' chipset differences.
