Question about multipliers

[goose36]

I have a quick question. I have an x6800 oc'd to 3.52ghz (320X12) @ stock voltage 1.32. My ram is 800mhz stock @ 4-4-4-12 2T but I have mine @ 4-4-3-8 1T. All benches are good and 170,000 on aquamark 3. My question is, what difference does it make if I am 320X11 or 350X10 or 300X12 on my multipliers if I can seperately clock my ram and set timings independently from FSB. Does lower fsb and voltage go hand in hand or what?

Could someone please shed some light on this

well a higher FSB with lower mutliplier requires more voltage.So u could say FSB and voltage go hand in hand.
If u want performance to be higher go for the 350 x10 setup.

Why would that be if you don't mind me asking? Would it be that much better than what I bench already?

I am curious too, have same question as the OP.

If FSB is set indepedent of memory speed, then what advantage is there to increasing FSB for an unlocked CPU?

None that I can think of, but surely I am missing something?

FSB isn't independent of memory speed. And the reason that the performance will be higher with a higher FSB is that the processor can only communicate with the RAM through the FSB. So, higher FSB=faster communication with faster RAM, and that equates to higher performance.
