I'm new to this, but if I want to build a system with the e6850, then, if I'm not mistaken, dual channel ddr2 667 gives a 1:1 ratio between the cpu and memory busses.
I've seen some reviews where faster ram gave at least some boost in performance. I don't know if they overclocked the cpu to 'catch up' with the faster ram.
I hope this isn't a silly question, but...
without any overclocking, would I see any speed increase in combining the e6850 with ddr2-1066 instead of ddr2-667?
It seems that the theoretical formula suggests that in the e6850 + ddr2-1066 combo, the cpu is the bottleneck.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, and explanations are appreciated.
