GTL logic is very hard to put forwards in a sense that is universally applicable to every person.
In some cases matching NBCore and NBGTL is not always fruitful, a sign of inadequate NBGTL is either random core failures, or using a higher Vdimm for stability, my board and setup prefers NBGTL aligned with VTT, letting me get away with low overall Vdimm. Others have to match NBGTL with NBCORE (65-67%
.
Though highish fsb's are nice we found out that real world apps benefit little between running a higher fsb (circa 465-475fsb) over running the 266 strap between 414-430fsb at similar cpu speeds (this is with 4 gig in place, needing the 333 strap to obtain stability over 460fsb)..
Though the synthetic benchmarks like Everest show otherwise, gaming engine's and even rendering benchmarks show around a 1% gain at most, which can usually be put down to variance in repeated runs.
Look out for our article on Anandtech (should be up in the next 9 hours), Gary and myself have put some hard hours into getting something together (thanks to Praz too for helping me out!). We could not go into every aspect as it would have taken months lol. But there's is a bit of a guide in there and even some cascade stuff. There will be more in depth study of BIOS on the performance boards at Anandtech...
