multiplier vs fsb

[skinnyjoint]

hi just wondering y do alot of ppl run a lower multiplier say 10x 200 = 2 ghz instead of going with an 11x 182 = bout 2 ghz. just been noticing ppl like to use lower multiplier.

Yes, a higher bus speed provides a performance increase due to throughput from the CPU to the Northbridge and RAM.

go with the highest FSB you can get, and then raise the multiplier to as high as it will go
