question with athlons

[Zipperhead]

if you can change the multiplier and the fsb,what would be the point in spending more for a 1.2 t-bird over a 1gig t-bird?are there different cores or steppings that would make one o.c. higher than the other.i know about the copper/aluminum interconnects on the i gig.to the point:if the ceiling on these was say 1300mhz.couldn't both be set with the same multiplier and fsb and run evenly?thanks,

It's not a garuntee that the 1GHZ cpu will reach 1.2GHZ. If that were the case, no one would be high-end cpus. And not everyone knows or feels comfortable overclocking becuase sometimes you run stuff out of spec when you overclock....

heh... actually you are ALWAYS running something out of spec when you overclock.
