    Very Newbie Question....What's Better?

    Running a processor at 10.5x175, or 12.5x150?

    I figure if I can't get better memory bandwidth, I should at least optimize my rig for folding.

    Does it make any difference how the speed is calculated, or is just more better?

    To be considered a country, you need to have a beer. Sure, it helps to have an airport, or nuclear weapons, but at the very least, you need a beer.

    for folding ALWAYS go CPU over FSB

    so 12.5 x 150 would fold better


    all folding is - is CPU crunch power


    faster cpu is - faster you fold
