thanks for the great explanation

Its very confusing why people call the system clock "the fsb" I have no idea. As you just said the system clock is just the base which the other busses use to to set their speed using multipliers and dividers.

Also gigabyte for some reason call the system/memory ratio...System memory multiplier as you also said.

My DDR2 800mhz 4-4-4-12 is arriving today.
With my new found knowege im beginning to wonder if I would be better off with the ddr2 667 mhz.
Since ive already done a 3000 mhz overclock on the e6600 with stock cooling which is all i have the moment.

Is a 400 host clock x 7 @ 2800 mhz cpu @ 800 mhz memory bus speed better than a..

300 host clock x 9 @ 3000 mhz cpu @ 677 mhz memory speed ?
