n00b question

[cooljimy84]

ok, maths is not my strong point.

Would there be any point in setting my muplity ( or spelling ) lower and uping the FSB more to try and get the same speed.

The board is Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe with a AM@ 5200+

Just asking cause i can't get faster than 3050 (ish)

Cheers ppl

Having a higher bus speed will give better performance across the board. It is however more difficult to get stable with higher FSB and a lower multi as you are also stressing your board more.

Upping the FSB will also increase the speed the RAM works at so make sure your RAM can take it too.

i'll set the RAM on a slow speed, ( from 333 to 200 ) so i works slower, so that when i stick up the speed it will then go higher..
