600+ (If the proc. can)
i can tell you, your not gonna get much past the mid 400's with that cpu.. your gonna hit the cpus fsb wall long before the motherboard runs out a fsb steam..
We have had cpu fsb walls since Core 2 was released. celeron-l 420 i have max fsb bootable is 410mhz. my E6400 is somewhere in the 480's, all i know is 480 works, 490 doesnt. thats with both cpu's being used on the IP35-PRO in sig.
the cpu fsb wall doesnt care what multi you use. there is a theroy that its tied some how to the cpus stock fsb. due to the motherboards fsb detection, in practice many have over comed the fsb wall with different motherboards. many have also done the same with PAD MOD's.
if you havent seen the ocing results of the 45nm quads those have a low fsb wall around 480's. thats why they are being delayed, some think.. how ever you slice it RJ wiether the cpu has a IMC or not the cpu can still have a fsb wall. the point at which no matter what multi you cant boot past a certian fsb. any P35 board can do 500+ as long as the voltage options are there.
i didnt know the amd's had a fsb wall, i didnt even know they could hit 500+ fsb's. looks like i need to do more reading in the xs amd section..
currently they do on the LGA775 socket, thats going to change when Socket B shows up late this year. Neha will bring CSI = HTT, and IMC to the 45nm Core 2 arch.Don't Intel still use the more traditional off-die northbridge setup?
