is it detrimental in any way to have a high mulitipler and a low FSB instead of it being the other way around???

i'd rather have faster fsb then higher multiplier tho, only for the sake of matching up the speeds w/ your ddr memory. like 13.5 X 166 fsb would be better than 15 X 150.. but then that's if your memory can run at that speed, since speeding up the bottleneck is more imp that higher clockspeed imo.

the only reason why ppl go for high fsb is to get rid of the bottleneck as said above

but a high mult is just fine
just wont get the ram bandwidth usually accompanied by high fsb's (unless you run ram slower...which is ust stuipd lol)
