Default FSB settings increase memory speed?

Say you want to OC to 2ghz and you set your FSB to 200 and your mxplier to
10. This would set your memory to 400mhz. Does this mean that your memory
will work faster, or does this only relate to processor speed? What I mean
is, is 200x10 any more beneficial than 190x10.5 (roughly 2ghz)?

Fine.

This would set your memory to 400mhz.


If you have the FSB and RAM in synch, then it will set your RAM to 200MHz,
DDR. (400DDR)

Does this mean that your memory will work faster,


Depends if 200MHz is faster than it was set at.

or does this only relate to processor speed?


If FSB and RAM are in synch and you increase FSB then the RAM will be run
faster too. You will get an increase in memory bandwidth.

What I mean is, is 200x10 any more beneficial than 190x10.5 (roughly
2ghz)?


If FSB and RAM are in synch, yes. But that is also task dependant.
