Hi guys,
Can anyone clear up how the FSB relates to processor and RAM etc clock speeds for me? I'm a bit confused.
My Core 2 Duo E6600 runs at 2.4Ghz, apparently on a 1066Mhz FSB, which I think translates to a multiplier of 9 times the bus speed of 266Mhz. Is that right?
Also, how does this relate to my RAM speed? I have PC2-5300 RAM which runs at 667Mhz - does this mean it's theoretical speed is 333Mhz x 2? How does that fit in with a bus speed of 266Mhz.
Oh, I used to understand all this back in the days of SD-RAM and nice simple 100Mhz buses. Now I'm really confused!!! Please help!!
Thanks.
