what he said, and if it is stable, you want to see how far the crucial will go cuz it better to run the system at 220*10 than 200*11

Same clockspeed but higher bandwidth by running the FSB higher in synch mode. Even though the CPU can't use it all other components will help suck it up.

higher FSB means the memory is accessed faster, meaning faster system
