Well.. fsb now does not mean the same thing with 975x vs 965.... and strap is way more important and by the same time so much unknown for alot of people...Originally Posted by Ajfina
nice , well everytime a new board comes out the first thing that reviewers do or say is WE REACHED 512 FSB YADAYADA AWESOME, so pretty much if ur board do higher FSB is a "good" board , im just saying what i read, everyone on this forum (including me) like to go high FSB( dont ask me why)
i was doing some test today with my DS3 at high FSB and lower FSB matching speed (cpu) and prettymuch performance was very very close ...
I think strap has even a greater performance impact than memory timings....
High fsb does not mean alot anymore unless you have a 6300 or 6400 or a X6800....... in order of importance of performance we could say:
Cpu frequency / strap / Chipset / mem frequency / mem timings/ fsb ...
well not really but, fsb is definitly not the #1 thing to look at when you buy a board.
supertim0r had a comparison between badaxe 2 and p5b deluxe with superpi and 3dm06 benches. I cant find the screenshots from him but if i remember well on 975x a 6600 @ 3200mhz (355x9) with memory on 4:5 (1066strap) 890mhz 4-4-3-8 was equaly performant as a 6600 @ 3700mhz (410x9) with memory on 4:5 (1028mhz) 4-4-4-12 on 965.
Simon, show the proofs of what im saying so i look like i know something
