Processor Multipliers

I have been reading some forum posts where the poster says one
processor has an advantage over another due to a multiplier being
different, Is there somewhere that lists the various multiplier values
for both AMD and Intel processors? If anyone has a few good links that
explains why it makes a difference would be appreciated as well.

TIA

THe only thing is those with a lower multiplier for the same speed use
a higher FSB so run the RAM faster.

But it's a lot more complicated than that. In short, you're not likely
to notice so I'd not worry about it.

I'd still like to find the multiplier info if it's available
somewhere. It's not a big deal, but I am trying to follow some of the
overclocking conversations and it may help.

If anyone knows where I can locate it, please post the website(s).
