220x10 better than 200x11.5?

[Manzelle]

Which would you rather run?

 

[Mik3y]

200x12.5

you'll still have a high fsb with an incredibly high clock speed.

 

[MadRat]

220 = 3.5 GB/sec memory bandwidth per channel, lower latency in real time per cycle
200 = 3.2 GB/sec memory bandwidth per channel

You decide which is better.

 

[PliotronX]

What about option C: 11x220?

 

[suklee]

You kidding me? [Leo Rautlins voice]

For sure 200x12.5 = 2.5GHz.

But if you can run 220x10 and 200x12.5.... then why wouldn't you run 220 x 11 or x11.5?

 

[Manzelle]

My junk is funny that way I suppose...actually I can't even run 200x12.5...I meant 200x11.5...

Because it is prob. too much for the cpu to handle. Ususally a lower multi will let you get a higher OC (that is why the unlocked bartons are so popular)

 

[edmundoab]

yeah if it is stable,
why run a lower multiplier when u can acheive a higher speed??

Ah, thought there was a typo in there
If it's 220x10 vs 200x11.5, that's a pretty tough call.

I run 222x10 on my XP2500+ and I can tell you for sure it beats 200x11 in all benches. Not sure how your extra 100MHz will do, but I'd most likely still stick with the higher FSB.

Isnt that the point of the question? In real world usage is 220x10 (2.2GHz) faster than 200x12.5 (2.5GHz)?
Does the faster memory win?

 

[Jeff7181]

Depends, can your memory run lower timings at the lower FSB speed? If not, then go for the higher FSB... if it's the difference between CAS 2 and CAS 2.5, just run benchmarks to find out which performs better.

 

[nick1985]

FSB > intelihertz

What's wrong with 10.5x220?

Nothing if you can get your RAM to run at that speed with pretty low timings.
