with all the extra available bandwith of the duel channel memory would it be possible to run a higher fsb than memory

it may be a silly question but i had to ask

i mean to overclock the fsb to 200 (400) but run the memory at pc2100
this would bypass the stability probs with ddr400 but make good use of the duel channel memory bandwidth:)

No like the KT333 you can pick the memory speed till it hit's it's level in this case 266MHz other wise the FSB & memory will work at the same speed. However i would like to see if some one can run at 200MHz and see if they get the same resualts as 266MHz.
As the Athlons FSB can only do 2.1GB/sec i wonder if there is a diffrence from PC1600 3.2GB/s & PC2100 4.2GB/sec. This would show how efficient nVIDIA's Twin bank really is :)
