This reduction in multi, helps in increasing the FSB freq which inturn increases mem bus bandwidth. This is a good way to push the capabilities of your system, without pushing the CPU to its limits..Another potential advantage, you could use a faster ram chip and forget about trying to cool your processor well... My mem bus speed is now close to a 1066 (hopefully i dont fry my mobo) |
