Can someone explain to me the following concept.

If you push the FSB and compromise by lowering the memory clock and loosen timings what is the effective tradeoff in performance?

Example 1:
Dominator C5D PC2-8500

FSB 345 and PC2-5700 at 5-5-5-15

Vs.

Example 2:

FSB 333 and PC2-6400 at 4-4-4-12

What is the tradeoff? Which is the better performance all other factors being equal?


In Some ways the PC-26400 runs better because I can run tighter timings at a lower FSB.

If you push FSB at the expense of memory speed is the net-net in your favor or against.??
