| The Northbridge is the common denominator between the CPU and memory. It uses multipliers (straps) to achieve a FSB of 266 and memory speed of 1066. Just as a CPU will like a certain setup the Northbridge will act in the same manner. Find the sweet spot of the Northbridge then work the CPU and memory around it.
