I am having problems getting high FSB, it's been suggested that the E6700 bottoms out compared to an E6600 , But is it worth the hastle of swapping.

How faster would a rig run on a 1:1 ratio CPU -> Memory.

I currently have my E6700 running 3.5ghz and 1050mhz memory 2:3 ratio.

If I got an E6600, firstly it is unlikely it would run FSB500 (for my PC8000 memory) so lets say max I could get is 450FSB, thats 900mhz memory and say x7 multi = 3.150ghz.

would 900mhz memory and 3.150ghz CPU on 1:1 run better/faster than 3.5ghz , 1050mhz memory on 2:3 ?

what benefit does 1:1 actually bring to the real world? and if I could only get x7 multi on FSB450 is a 1:1 with slower memory and CPU really worth it?

x8 would be nice but is it realistic to expect x8 X 450FSB out an E6600 , seings as I expected more out of my E6700 and it didn't happen?

all thoughts appreciated.
