I have an Athlon xp 2500+ and am planning on overclocking it when i get my new mobo. I would like it to run faster than an XP 3200+ when i'm done. I would like to know if I increase the bus speed and lower the multiplier than would the processor perform faster than the stock cpu ratio. For example
Athlon XP 3200 = 2.2GHz - 11x200fsb
VS.
Overclocked XP 2500 = 2.205GHz - 10x220fsb.
Wouldn't I get better performance from the bigger front side bus even though the overall clock speeds are still close? Doesn't it have somethin to do with bandwidth?
If so just think what 10x240FSB could be like!
