dude
that is a rocking cpu

500fsb on qd.. gila...

shawty it depends on the straps.

i dont think it applies in this case
as pointed out above the clocks is 450x9=3.6

but a lot of ppl dont realise that a lot of times the fsb u get depends on the straps and the ram mhz/timings ( suspect bandwidth stress)

being in sync doesnt neccessarily mean u can get the highest fsb.

example my mobo fsb 456 is the sweet spot.. with this at 1111 CL4 i can get bandwidth close to 10k

if i was to go any higher or even have higher ram speed with tighter timings the bandwidth is less.

Hence u need to find the sweetspot for each mobo.
and overcock from there.
Very evident when u see aquamark scores when bandwidth with low latency timings can account to more than 10fps diifference.

oops.. hmm difficult to type on my aging notebook with the lcd like having stripes of colour... the monitor dieing but still fighting a good fight...

and yes.. overclocking means tweaking

go look at the database
u will find ppl with higher scores at the same mhz.
so many things to consider

even the fsb affects gpu overclocking.
the rams affects the gpu /fsb and vice versa..

we are all learning

better still if u go to www.ripping.org
dont look at the high clocks..
look at the middle of the table...
