Ive been looking at fan configurations for case cooling and ive also seen ducting mentioned a few times too. Now the question is what would happen or effect would it have if i was to mount a fan on the side of my case, connect a duct from it to cpu fan but have the fans at differnet speeds - ie the case fan pulling or pushing (dependant on the cpu fan) more air in than the cpu fan could shift.......does that make sense ?

Nah ducting is good, but of course you need a heatsink that lays horizontal to your motherboard, most the newer designs are towers so ducting is out the window.
I think having the fan mounted to the heatsink works better, its pulls the air slowly from outside the case via the duct, as the air travels towards the heatsink it get quicker and quicker until it crashes down upon the heatsink like a mighty wave upon the shore!
Having the fan attached to the duct entrance instead is a hassle because the power cable has to be unhooked everytime you take the side panel off and the airflow that reaches the heatsink isn't as powerful.
Back to the drawing board!
