Hi

The Bus/Core ratio of Core i7 is at least 20. Does this mean that an Core i7 is a very good overclocker? In addition, it seems that the FSB of Core i7 is not related to CPU speed and Bus/Core ratio anymore. Hence there's no way for us to determine the best ratio between the FSB and RAM which is 2:1 in C2D/C2Q/P4. How do you choose the RAM for i7 if you don't want to have any waste then? (p.s. For "WASTE", I mean that the RAM outperform what we need. For example, the DDR2-1066MHz is a waste for 1333MHz FSB CPUs which need only 667MHz RAMs. ) By the way, a link of article is fine if it's very hard to explain, although I hate reading long stories. Thanks a lot!

well i don't think it matters so much anymore since there are memory multipliers

Could you please explain with more detailed information on the memory multipliers? What's the difference between the memory and clock multiplier? Thank you.
