Difference between 2 types of Overclocking

[bs0409]

I knew that there are 2 types of overclocking:-
1.By directly increasing CPU multiplier(on intel EE/AMD black edition processors)
2.Increasing mobo FSB

Basically I wanted to know why Intel/AMD charge that extra buck for EE and black edition processors.
Is there any performance difference between these 2 methods?
If yes, then by how much?

1. Increasing multiplier only increase the CPU speed and doesn't effect the speed of Ram.

2. Increase FSB/HTT/Bclk will overclock ram/nb along with processor.

With special edition processor you have freedom to choose the way of overclocking. But with a normal processor you will get stuck with only one option i.e. HTT/FSB overclocking.

Well yes. If you Overclock using FSB you will gain better results as overall system gets overclocked but theres is a limitation of ram. Inorder to achieve high FSB/HTT you must have decent ram/motherboard .

Example : 200 X 19 < 240 X 15 , the performance gain depend on how much you bump the HTT/FSB .

it depend upon ur mobo and procy
