This is assuming that the above is true...
The article I read showed a very linear gain in chipset and memory performance when switching multi's and ramping up fsb, which led them do believe that strap changing was not so much of a performance decider like in the P5w DH's (975x) and evga 680i's.....

can anyone shed light on that?
Thanks!
