|  OC'd folder question Something that just crossed my mind: What affects F@H more? Raw CPU speed or the same cpu speed with a higher FSB? With a cpu speed of 3.6 which would fold faster? 10X360, 9X400, 8X450 If I can reach a certain cpu speed would it be benifical to jockey the FSB or the multiplier to max?  Intel E8400 @ 4.05GHZ - EP35-DS3P Zalman 9700NT - 4 Gig Mushkin DDR2-1066 Two Sapphire HD 4870 512mb in CrossFire PC P & C 750 watt - Samsung 216BW LCD Samsung DVD-RW - Logitec Z-640 speakers Linksys WRT54GL Router - CM 690 Case Seagate 250gig - Vista Home Premium 64bit |

| Re: OC'd folder question The only reason you would have a really high FSB speed was for better RAM performance... So I guess the question is how much RAM speed affects F@H, if at all.

| Modder-ator  | Re: OC'd folder question Pure increases in core clock speed should improve folding performance the most. After that, a faster memory speed would make the difference, followed closely by FSB. The 8x450 speed would be your best bet as long as your memory wasn't running slower than it would be at 9x400 or 10x360 (it will depend on your CPU:Memory divider).  |
