Default Intel 1333 fsb vs the 1066 fsb chips in overclocking

Will the 1333fsb chips have a advantage over the 1066fsb chips? Wouldn't overclocking a 1066fsb chip to 1333fsb make it the same if they had the same multiplyer?

Well they will have a higher FSB initially so it will be faster at stock, however yes you can take a C2D which is 266 and up it to 333 and way beyond making the real FSB 1333+ which would then be the same chip. If they overclock very similar though you may get a max of 480 on your chip that was initially only 266 while the new one may hit 550 or something becuase it was initially 333.
So techincally yes you can make your FSB equal to the new ones but the advantages will probably be more power in the end.

We will only know for sure when the benchmarks are released and we see how far the 1333 chips FSB will OC. They might max out around the same as the 1066's even.

Sorry if thats confusing....hard to explain.

I understand what your saying. What I'm wondering is if they will overclock as good because aren't they suppose to have a lower multiplyer? So a 1333fsb version of the E6600 would only have a 7x multiplyer instead of 9x. So unless they can hit a much higher fsb and you have great ram they seem like a worst chip to have.
