Since I'm not familiar with this as I've been using only AMD until now, any1 care to explain how much of a performance impact and does any1 know at which FSBs the straps changes? I'm a tweaker and I really want to run my systems at optimal performance and my goal is also reaching 10000MB/s memory read in Everest for example . Should I have choosed ASUS or Abit instead or it won't be a concern for me?

Any response on this is very appriciated, thanks.
i'm running 525fsb lowest i can go on voltage is +2
10200+ read 9500+ write 48 latency 1:1
@ 510 i hit 10000+ write
multi is @ 7
@8 i gettin better scores but its good enough for me for 24/7
