High FSB +low multi or low FSB +high multi?

[doctoe2260]

I've been wondering for a while now why some people have their CPU multipliers set quite low with a high FSB frequency(e.g. 413x9). My rig is currently running at 2.618GHz at 238x11. Is there an advantage to having it at, say 262x10? Or is it just that 9 is the max multiplier on their boards? Just curious, any info. would be great.
Cheers

High FSB is better aslong as its at the same clockspeed. A higher FSB = higher memory overclocks. Some motherboards now operate the memory independantly of the FSB - most however don't.

Thank you muchly! I shall have a play and see what I can get - memory at the moment is underclocked!
