fsb wise I got mine to about 275-280mhz on my MSI DKA790GX but it hardly made a difference and Im talking going from 200mhz to 280mhz
made a difference of a few milliseconds less in spi 1M where as moving the nb frequency and the HT link speed from 2000mhz to 2400mhz gave a difference of 1-2 seconds less in spi 1M.

I was less worried about performance from actually running the fsb high but more wondering how far you could push a lower clocked cheaper non black edition chip if you're limited to overclocking on the fsb, rather than the multiplier.

I really think AMD will get a well obviously not lots of business, but a lot of enthusiasts would considering AMD which gets their name out a little more and more people talking about them, if you could pick up there cheapest quad and clock the hell out of it. IE a 2.2Ghz £100 quad that you can whack the multi up and run at 4Ghz if you want/can. Back to the good old multiplier unlocked as standard days, frankly when they've had completely unlocked multipliers is when more people play with them and their name is seen more often on forums all over.


The 2.8Ghx 920 isn't much of a saving, though £40 isn't bad, if it could fairly easily do 280Mhz at a 14multiplier, thats not at all bad, but a 2.2Ghz quad at 280Mhz wouldn't be quite as good.
