I must be having a retarded day, cause I have searched the forum for this topic and cannot find it. I though for sure there was numerous threads out there on this, but here it goes again.

What will create a faster computer in the overall picture?

Higher FSB or higher multiplier.

I ask because I am at a fork in the road so to speak on my overclock. I am currently rock stable at 240x10 with 2.5-3-3-11 timings on my RAM.

Would it be more beneficial to go to 230x12 and run my RAM at 2-2-2-11, or go to 250x10 and run my RAM at looser timings?

Thanks!
 
This is gross simplification, but serves to explain the situation.

High multi is like forcing 20 cars down a two lane road ... High FSB is like
adding six extra lanes to that same road.

10x240=2.4ghz
12x200=2.4ghz


The first will give you better benchmarks. ... Bandwidth is King!
