Is it better to have lower in-order que depth to gain say, a couple more points on the FSB, or go with the faster que depth, but with less FSB, which resluts in better memory benchmarks. Reason being is that if I set que depth to "8" I can only go to about 138FSB. If I set it to "1" I can get to 143 and finally get a gig.
 
I posted a question a while back what would be better to run? more MHZ or a little less and more bandwidth i was supprised that more people wanted the MHZ I think if you only lost a little bandwidth then it may be a good trade off to go with the higher FSB but if your bandwidth has took a big bite then you might consider the lower FSB see if theres anyway you can find some middle ground by changing some of your BIOS settings, www.rojakpot.com has a good BIOS guide may help your problem a little, also what are your benchmark score's?
 
Well, I guess the reults speak for themselves. (see attached file.) Better to loose a few mhz than sacrifice memory bandwidth............
 
i would say you want the FSB, but run some real world test to find out what is better.
Quake3 demo or something
 
Pretty convincing results. I leave mine in the middle now (4) and it benchmarks fine and I still have a rock solid overclock.
