these days strap has only minor changes on board since the big one that was traditionally rolled in used to be tRD. Now that it's pulled out, the chipset strap is mostly just for setting memory dividers. I believe it also affects the phase offset applied for clock splitting on the MCH. I think instabilities that come out from these phase offsets are what causes FSB "holes" the majority of the time. Playing with GTL adjustments and timing offsets can sometimes bring you back into a stable regime but this still ends up being wandering in the dark unless you have a good oscilloscope handy.
