Memory timings, vs FSB speeds?????

OK this has me curious. I realize that tweaking the memory timings to lower numbers creates more performance correct?, but only going so low will sacrifice stability to overclock as high?

So what would be more beneficial? Having a very high bus/CPU clock rate?, or a little less FSB and more aggressive timings?

Which one would effect memory bandwith more?
Which one would yeild faster overall computing?

its hard to say definitively which is better. there was a thread about this same thing a week or so ago. someone in that thread had some benchmarks comparing running the ram at cl 2 with a lower fsb to cl2.5 with a slightly higher fsb. check it out yourself.

It's hard to tell...
It depends on application u r using..

It is much similar with HDD's seek time and data transfer rate...
seek time is more important at server environment and higher data tansfer rate is the key to pump up system performance for video editing..!!

Memory... hmm about gaming, timing seems more important than clock... However, it's hard to tell.. you gotta test it by yourself.

That's why people wanna get both clock and timing!
