    What is benefit of higher FSB with C2D?

    What I meant was: Intel finally realized that it has squeezed as much performance as it can out of FSB designs with its smart cache/prefetcher architecture and decided to tackle IMC engineering challenge, something AMD has had a couple of years head start on. Intel was never oblivious IMC as a...

    What is benefit of higher FSB with C2D?

    My understanding is that Core architecture was always FSB starved, Intel realized this and built C/C2 architectures around large caches and efficient prefetchers to compensate for this FSB bottleneck. AMD on the other hand, equally realizing FSB as a major bottleneck to CPU performance, decided...

    X3350 / Q9450 Overclocking Thread

    Hey all, I just built a moderately OC'd system around Q9450 and ASUS P5E WS Pro (X38 + DDR2) with 8Gig PC-6400 OCZ Gold Series RAM (5-5-5-18). All I want for OC is 400Mhz FSB, due to the fact that C2Qs are FSB starved according to most rearview. Well I bumped up the FSB to 400MHz, kept...
