:fire: Ok every wants the high fsb. the reasoning is simple
Other than memory what can limit fsb Does the cpu work any harder at the same hz with low multiplier and high fsb So where are the stress points ? the chipset? so what are all the limits of obtaining high fsb other than mem speed

chipset/ motherboard

Memory subsystem design issues on the motherboard including

Memory controler power integrity ,
DIMM voltage regulator output (jitter) (noise)
Clock skew due to poor signal trace from chipet to memory controller and dimm slot
Overshoot or Undershoot from the memory controller due to poor DQ and DQS termination.

are some of the common issues we run into on a engineering level
more often than not the motherboard or chipset are the limit , so choose your motherboard carefully.

Keep in mind motheboards for the most part are designed to meet a price point , not to overclock like a banshee
