What am I missing with the Core 2 Duo FSB
Hey guys,
I am also looking at switching over to Intel land () but I am a bit perplexed about how their FSB works.
What I understand: Core 2 Duo runs at 266 Mhz FSB that is running at "Quad Data Rate".
Does a stock Core 2 Duo use DDR2-533 (266 x 2) or DDR2-1066 (266 x 4)? Simple enough question I hope

Look at this from today

But it looks like 800 at 4-4-4 gets you most of the bang.
Remember that many people are running the C2D at the 1:1 ratio and 800 memory speeds because they have the FSB overclocked so high.
Now I just need to find a mobo......
That is an incredible FSB OC 266 MHz-> 400 MHz! I didn't check the article so pardon my ignorance, but doesn't that throw your PCI/SATA/etc clocks off spec? Is there a separate divider for the other buses in the bios?
Talk about icing on the cake! Must...keep...mouse and credit card away...from...newegg...
