does a 800 mhz fsb processor make sense if coupled to a 677 mhz ram memory?

is the potential of a 800 mhz processor exploited with a 677 mhz ram memory or it's just a waste of money? would a 677 mhz processor give same performance?

Performance vary from motherboard to motherboard some at 800fsb perform better than some at 1066 mhz.
to answer your question mounting 667mhz ram on a motherboard should still allow you to run the fsb at 800mhz, if your motherboard fsb does it.

what i mean is :
with the same mainboard and the same RAM chip with a 677 mhz fsb speed, does a processor with 800 mhz fsb speed give better performance then a processor with 677 mhz fsb speed
if there's a performance difference is it enough to justify 200 euro more cost?

If your motherboard has an fsb of 800, it should go faster theoraticaly. But as I said before it depends of the motherboard
what processor and motherboard are you talking about any way. I had a company called apollo audio computers, I can advice on a good piece. |

FSB speed and memory speed don't have to be the same.
Memory speed is linked to FSB through a divider.
It's completely normal to have different FSB and memory speed on todays motherboards.

exactly!
and it's for sure better to buy a m/b that supports high fsb speeds in terms of performance-asssuming that u have a cpu that supports that speed too!
