ok so i have a athon 64 x2 5600 windsor 2.8. That i overclocked in 2 ways.
the ram is ddr2 800 and my max multiplier is 14


core speed- 3.2
multiplier - x14
bus speed-229.
HT link- 1145.

Dram freq.-458
fsb:dram cpu/7

and

core speed-3.4
multiplier- x11
bus speed-310.
HT link-1550

dram freq-568
fsb:dram cpu/6


both test stable so which one is the better. I know higher fsb is better but the multiplier thing is throwing me off thinking that a higher multiplier is better. Any input would be great.

Higher bus speed is better. Multiplier by itself doesn't mean anything, it's only core speed and nb speed that matters.

Option #2 has faster core, faster HT, faster DRAM, faster NB, and is therefore better in every way.
