What's better, higher bandwidth, or higher core speed?

I've been wondering if it would be better to drop the multiplier really low (like 6.5x or so if that's even possible), then try to o/c the FSB. This should boost your memory, right? Then, work on bumping the multiplier up, and finally the voltage. I was just wondering if bandwidth benefits would be the same as they are with the Geforces. I am not sure if the Tbirds are hitting a bandwidth limit, so it was just a thought. I haven't seen any benchmarks that tested the benefits of improved memory bandwidth vs. core speed.

The only problem I can see is that it might be easier to hit a higher core speed by changing the multiplier first and then the FSB, but this would only be better if greater core speed really does produce better results than greater memory bandwidth.

Any thoughts or helpful links to benches that make this comparison? PEACE.
 
you've got it. The lower multiplier with a higher FSB speed will be better than a higher multiplier and a lower FSB. Once you get to the top of your overclock, it's a little trial and error at the best settings. Do some quick benchmarking and under several settings and go with the best one.
